A 4 am bar in my 'hood?  I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry...  but that's my personal issue...

So a friend of mine and I checked out Boney's (really?  I thought it was gonna be Bonnie's.  Huh...) last weekend.  It was busy - like, really busy.…More »

First, a confession.  I did not have a beer here, which seems like sacrilege.  My only excuse was that I had an insanely early flight the following day and I knew if I had one beer, I would have two beers and  maybe even three or...  You see where…More »

So, it's now been several years that I've been shopping at Provenance, and they continue to impress.  One of the things I love is their focus on supporting local businesses: Milk & Honey, Rich Chocolates, Sarah's Candies, Salted Caramel, Koval…More »

I checked out Boiler Room last weekend - I'm always a bit hesitant to try places right after they open, but decided what the heck.

The decor is cool - very industrial.  Also very dark.  Like, could be challenging for some people to read the menus…More »

Shamefully, today was my first visit to the Logan Square Farmer's Market, despite living here for five years.  Sundays are just a little crazy for me, I guess.

I realized just how shameful it really was though, once I managed to do a full swing…More »

I order pizza from Marcello's more often than I care to admit...  you know, it's just sometimes so much easier to order something when you get home from work than actually (gasp!) cook.

Anyway, I'm a fan of their thin crust pizzas.  They have a good…More »

This is one of my favorite neighborhood spots!  I love their tacos, and they always give me lots extra salsa verde in my to-go orders.  The prices here are great, and the food is fresh and flavorful.  Their tortilla soup is also very tasty and the…More »

From the outside, Lee's Chop Suey looks like it's been there since the 50's...  Given that I was craving the old school, Americanized Chinese food I grew up on, I decided to finally order from here.  And you know what?  It was exactly what I wanted.

I live near El Nandu and pass by it often, so I've been wanting to try it.  I wish I'd done so sooner!  I ended up going in for a late lunch, so the place was understandably empty.  The service, though, was still great - you never know what you're…More »

I went again - it was still madness in terms of the wait (over an hour even thought we got there early as far as dinner is concerned), but the food was once again fantastic, and the service really couldn't have been any better.  Had the cheddar ale…More »

I had been hearing about Fuego for a while when it first opened.  So when a date suggested we try it, I jumped on the chance.  

First, the place is ginormous.  I kind of wonder who they think they're going to be attracting to this somewhat sketchy…More »

Finally ate here - meh.  Menu is limited, and I didn't think my chicken strips were all that great.  Nothing bad, but nothing to get excited about.  

Still a good destination for drinks, though!

I find myself going to Strack & Van Til more and more lately.  I should really go there all the time really, since it's the closest store to my place, but I find sometimes that it's easier for me to head up to the Roscoe Village Jewel instead of…More »

I only went to Orbit Room for drinks (so I can't comment on the food), and while we had a good time, I don't understand what all the fuss has been about.  Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike it.  The drinks were fine, and our waitress was nice.  The…More »

Holy crap, Kuma's Corner was phenomenal.  I loved everything about it!  The atmosphere was great, the bartenders and waitresses were fantastic and answered all our questions despite being there on a Saturday night when they are extremely busy.

Not bad!  Not bad at all, really.

Reasonably priced, very fresh tasting food.  They have sort of a Corner Bakery style service - you order at a counter and then either carry out or they bring it to your table if you're eating in.

The menu has a nice…More »

How have I never reviewed Dunlay's?  I've only eaten here about eleventy seven times...

Dunlay's food is solid, though I have a slight preference for their brunch menu over dinner.  I'm a sucker for a good brunch, I guess.  I was actually just there…More »

Well isn't this a welcome addition to the 'hood!

I'd tried their bread at the farmers market, and it was divine - I couldn't wait until they actually opened and I could go get bread any time I want.  And now that day has arrived - yay!

I also picked up…More »
