Categories:
Vietnamese,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Near West Side, West Loop
This is the tale of three homigos (homo amigos) who gather at least once a month for boys night out.
Homigo #1 has been worked to the bone by the government. Homigo #2 has been worked to the bone by his museum. Homigo #3, on the other hand, has been…More »
2. Casbah Cafe
I've got one word for all of you: Knafe.
Knafe, betches! Knafe!!!
I have been trying to find Knafe at many middle eastern restaurants. Not many serve it. And if they do, it is usually stale because they made it a week ago. If I have to hear one more…More »
3. India House Restaurant
I like to think I am a connoisseur of Indian food (key word: like). I may know a thing or two about Indian food considering the fact that I am somewhat Indian (I have the genes) and I have cooked for large Indian gatherings. Those Indian aunties can…More »
4. Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant
A stunningly gorgeous man (the sexy librarian, Matthew S) and a beat up drama queen (me) decide to meet for dinner. After a few hilariously failed attempts at finding a dinner spot we decide to walk to a Thai place close to the librarian's flat.…More »
5. The Southern
Chicago, IL 60622
(773) 342-1840
LOLycakes: You wanna be my date tonight?
Me: Hell the fuck no. Why do I even want to be in the same city as you?
LOLycakes: Because I am inviting you to The Southern.
Me: Alright, I have been meaning to try this place. I'll be your date, whatever.

Category:
Filipino
Neighbourhoods: Lincoln Square, Ravenswood
This is going to be one of those cheesy, sappy, love-filled reviews. If you think I am going to be my usual self and write a review filled with filthy language and sexual escapades, you are shit out of luck. There I go with my cussing again. I should…More »

Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Halal
Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, River North
Yo, dawg! Do the downward dog before you get here. You will need some stretching before sitting on the floor style seating.
Rainy evening, dinner time, looking for something different from standard fare. We walk into Kan Zaman. The host offered us…More »
8. Avec
Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 377-2002
What do you do when you are having a shitty week compounded by international political/ bureaucratic drama, and a boss that looks and acts like a homeless person? Well, you say "fuck all of you" and go to a nice dinner/ drinks with wonderful company.…More »

Categories:
Italian,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, River North
Lately people have been accusing me of writing lengthy reviews. One yelper even called me Loquacia. So, I will keep this short and sweet. Well, the "sweet" part may be debatable because I am a mean crummy bastard, but "short" can be accomplished.
I…More »
10. Hema's Kitchen
I rarely give second chances. Burn me once, and you are dead to me. I don't care what others have to say, I cannot be convinced after one bad experience. I am a mean-spirited bastard like that.
However, I do give second chances for the sake of…More »

This place is not authentic Indian food. It is what i call "Indian food modified for non-Indians".… Read more »

Mexican
Neighbourhood: Ukrainian Village
Ahem!!
It hurts me to write this review, but I can't hold it in any longer. I am demoting my beloved margarita joint from 5 to 3 stars. You see, back in the day when we lived in Wanker Park, Tikal, as we affectionately called it, was a stellar…More »

12. La Madia
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 329-0400
I like it when my ill conceived notions are disproved. Especially about pizza. I am a lover of thin crust pizza. Deep dish can go to hell for all I care. For years I believed Chicago cannot do a good thin crust pizza. I have tried numerous places,…More »
13. La Cebollita Grill
I have decided to write "proper" reviews from now on. No more swearing, filthy language, or tales of sexual escapades. I am a reformed man now, I found Jeebus (this is all in preparation of my upcoming trip to find homeboy Jesus)
Their menu says "best…More »
14. Eduardo De San Angel
Best restaurant meal of 2009. That's all!
Ok Ok Ok.... I will write more since the above statement doesn't say much.
The cilantro soup is what dreams are made of.
The seared scallops make you want to take your clothes off.
The cactus paddle makes you…More »
15. Bezu
Asian - French fusion has been beaten to death by now. Everybody and their mother wants to fuse Asian and French cuisine. Well, newsflash muthafu*kers, the Vietnamese have been doing this for ages. Finding a decent nuevo French-Asian fusion place is…More »
16. Ali Baba Restaurant
I am a connoisseur of biryani: http://en.wikipedia.or...
It is the food of gods, imo. I don't care what you think. Among the various types of biryani eaten by gods, Hyderabadi biryani is the creme de la creme. You only get to eat Hyderabadi biryani if…More »
17. El Quenepo
Our host told us about El Quenepo. Apparently, the chef used to cook for the governor of PR... interesting. We were wandering in Esparanza and decided to check it out. I believe it is one of the few high end restaurants in Vieques.
Very cute…More »

Categories:
Indonesian,

Neighbourhood: West End
Quite average.
In a land of great Asian food, this restaurant sticks out as a Mexican hooker on the northshore.
They advertise themselves as serving Thai and Malaysian cuisine. I ordered the simplest of the dishes: Singapore noodles. It was OK, did not…More »
19. Saravana Bhavan
This review will not be of much use without a context. So, let's get to it, OK?
Every year I visit my sister in NJ for the Xmas holidays and every year she tries to drive some "Indian-ness" into me. She thinks the only thing Indian about me is the…More »
Recently updated lists from Krsna V.
Simply the best! (15)Just like the famous diva Tina Turner's song "simply the best, better than all the rest... better than anyone" |
Capital-istic (20)Fantastic capital city. My exploits in the wonderful capital city and suburbia. |
Chicken soup for the soul (19)Entertainment comes in many forms. You wanna be a cabaret star, get emotional at a play, join a cult... I even found myself on a roadtrip! In the end it is all about "chicken soup for the soul"! |
Downtown living (10)I am a Loop dweller. I have never been happy in any other Chicago neighborhood. |
Playin' it safe (42)The 3 and 4 star ratings. It's like you are almost the best. |
Chicagoland aka suburbia (2)Not all suburbs are dreadful. I would probably visit more if there is a flight service from ORD or MDW :-) |
Adventures around NY and NJ (6)Some places I visit to escape from the depressed locales of NJ and Long Island. |
Brokeback Mountain (3)Yes, I went there! I went to Wyoming to become a cowboy. Failed miserably at becoming a cowboy, but enjoyed my time otherwise. |
Date night (24)As much of an old couple we are (6+ years), we still do date nights often. Dress up, pick a proper place, the whole thing. One of the agreements we have in the V-P household is that we have to fly out for date night at least once a month. Hence, the various out of state places in the list. |
Trips to San Diego (3)I miss my bff. |
