Avocado Shake! Avocado Shake! Avocado Shake!
:::need i say more?:::
They say repeating something three times helps people remember it better... it may also summon Beetlejuice, Bloody Mary, or the Candy Man- so beware of the ones known as the Terrible…More »
3. Siri Thai Two
Like Professor X, I'm going to give you some insight into my thoughts. An up close view of all my inner workings. Secrets. Hopes. Dreams. You name it- all that jazz is as good as unleashed once you read beyond this verse. Ready? Remember, you've…More »

Indian Nachos + Mango Lassi + BYOB. That's the ticket.
Full Discolsure: I was wavering between 3 and 4 stars for various reasons (outlined below) but went with a 4 not only because of their rare suburban BYOB status, but also because they've been…More »
5. TTOWA
Now trending on my review feed: Suburban BYOBs!
As TTOWA makes for my 3rd Suburban BYOB review within a week. Can Y'all say Yahooz for Booze?
TTOWA is a fairly new Korean eatery in downtown Arlington Heights that I've been patiently waiting to try…More »

Norgay became the first known men to
successfully ascend and descend
Everest's summit point. …More »
7. Thai Cuisine
Sussudio ~ Genesis
SoSodium ~ Me... after eating at Thai Cuisine
First off, what's up with the name? I mean, it's 'to the point' and all, but that's like naming your kid 'Baby Human'. Coulda tried a little harder is all I'm saying... especially since…More »

I feel like Bart Simpson after he ate that bad Krusty-O
... only I didn't eat anything bad, per se. But I would 'se' that the amount I ate was bad- very bad. Because Good God, am I in pain now.
Okay, maybe I feel more like when Bart Simpson is…More »
9. Tortas Frontera
I got a boner in baggage claim. Is that descriptive enough for ya?
After starving my way through the mega crapola eating options at LaGuardia, I made it a point to walk two extra terminals to eat here UPON ARRIVAL--- in caps for those of you who…More »
10. Revolution Brewing Co
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 227-2739
Categories:
Breweries,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Logan Square
While tinkering around the interwebs I *somehow* became entranced by clicks and awoke to find myself in a what looks to be a very specific, albeit popular, photo gallery of girls eating hot dogs and it reminded me that owe Revolution a review.
Now,…More »
11. House of Pho
Dinner Pho One, Please.
In case you haven't heard, dining solo is the new black. Or at least that's what I tell myself whenever I enter a restaurant alone and they try to seat me in the farthest corner of the universe like my leprosy isn't curable or…More »
12. El Burrito Loco
I received a gift today.
The greatest gift one human being can give another human being, in fact.
No, not the gift of life -- but not that far off either.
The gift.... of TACOS!!!
I've been trying to cut back on the calories for this whole biggest…More »
13. Joe Caputo & Sons
If you asked me what my favorite store was from the time I was in my late teens through twenties I would've said Nordstrom. If you asked me what my favorite store is now, I'd tell you Caputo's.
The times they are a changin'.
I don't even cook and I…More »
14. Mariano's Fresh Market
In my opinion, this newest location for Mariano's Fresh Market is one GIANT step up from their Arlington Heights counterpart for one very important reason: NO CARTS FOR KIDS.
Yay! I mean, they do still have grocery carts you can put your kid in, but…More »
15. Mago Grill & Cantina
After hearing nothing but rave reviews for both Mago's Arlington Heights and Bolingbrook locations I decided it was time to do my best Speedy Gonzales and head over to MG&C stat!
Our evening started off well enough with the friendly and very pleasant…More »
16. Tropisueño
All my life I've dreamed of having pozole... okay, maybe not ALL my life, but defo within the last 2 years when I found out pozole existed.
These past 2 years also coincided with the past 5 years of being vegetarian, just so you can see where this…More »
17. Thipi Thai
You know those reviews that start off saying something along the lines of, "Full disclosure- I'm biased because..." and then it's usually followed by something along the lines of, 'I work here' or 'my neighbor is the owner'' or some other close ties…More »
18. Chang Thai Restaurant
I'll give it to them for delivering on my request to make the Basil Tofu extra EXTRA spicy- in fact, it was probably one the top 3 spiciest spiced Thai dishes I've ever had, but what I can't give to them are props on the service end.
I ate here with…More »

Hidden Gem Alert! Hidden Gem Alert!
I FINALLY stopped in here today after having it bookmarked for probably the past 9 months. I drive by this place all the time, I've parked in the parking garage that directly faces the storefront, and I've drank a…More »
20. Thai Happiness
Well, it's finally happened; I've become 'that guy'
I'm officially 'that guy' (girl) that goes in to eat at a local Thai food restaurant for the first time and is recognized as 'that girl that goes to eat at those other Thai food restaurant's all the…More »
21. Chopsticks Noodle and Thai Café
Can't I just get, like, a BIG salad? You know, like a regular salad, but bigger. No, not 3 separate side salads - I just want one big salad, in one of your big bowls.
I kind of felt like Elaine Benes here. But instead of salad, insert soup.
I went…More »
22. La Cocina Logan Square
Chicago, IL 60618
(773) 588-5799
Phony meat Mexican food is apparently a weakness of mine.
And while El Faro of the south side holds my heart, La Cocina of Logan Square has certainly dug out a home for itself in at least one ventricle.
Uptons Naturals seitan everything + the…More »
23. Jaded Thai
My initial visit was 3 days ago for my extra extra super spicy birthday Thai take-out order.
My second visit was today, after enough time had passed between eating their level 5 spiciest possible version Spicy Basil Tofu and feeling confident that I…More »

What's one thing you might not know about me?
Well, I *might* be Asian.
I have no proof of ancestry beyond that I was pretty damn good at karate from 1994-1998, also known as 'The Power Ranger years' in my family where I pretty much mastered Tang Soo…More »

Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Bucktown
In all fairness, I came here on New Year's Day after a long night of foolishly thinking it'd be funny to drink only only Four Loko (and in non-human quantities) to ring in the new year.
Move over, Dennis Leary. I, ladies and gentlemen, am an asshole.…More »
26. Elmhurst Olive Oil Company
I can count on one hand the amount of times I've successfully cooked a meal on my own. Actually, to put it more accurately, I could probably count on zero hands... and that's even taking into account pre-made microwaveable meals... or even no-cook…More »
