apple candies in. For brandy fans, their Sidecar is made with blood orange juice. But my favorite was the Limoncello Martini – made with Limoncello and Absolut Citron infused with ginger. Two others I didn’t try...

to love the place, especially based on service and that wine list (it’s hard to find Schramsburg sparklers on a wine by the glass list), but at that price point, I felt the food was a bit lacking. I’m not saying it...

I used to live in Chicago about 8 years ago and had a couple of great meals at a place in or near the “Bucktown” area. This was when that area was starting to gentrify. It was on Division St. near Phylliss, the music...

I love walking in the door and smelling that bread... BTW, Kevin, it helps if you’re a blonde female – they’ve always been nice to me – especially the younger guy... The Kebab Nazi Lives!

$7 to park in the lot across the street, meters are hard to find and valet is $8. I went last week with some gal pals and we ended up spending about $30 a piece but that was with 3 martinis :{ If you go, try the Platinum Blonde...

had to wait 10 minutes for our seats.) The interior is lined with blonde wood and the alert-looking trio of sushi chefs behind the bar inspire confidence. It’s a very small space. Servers are beautifully dressed in kimono...

Since I’m working during the day, I’m far more worried about what they’ve done to the night schedule. While I know that many people seem to like Alton Brown, neither of us can stand him, so that cuts out the 8pm...

Hello Chowhound friends, I’m responsible for planning a bachelor party for 8 ppl the weekend of May 30-June 1, International Beer festival weekend, and would like to mix a little culture and heart with complete debauchery....

When I moved down here from CT 8 years ago, I stumbled (pun intended) onto Shiner Bock and immediately adopted it as my beer of preference. I enjoy Shiner Blonde quite a bit too but I have to say I’m pretty disappointed by...

Went to Dino last night and ate at the bar. The place was really packed around 8pm, the wait for 4 was 1 hour! The fried green tomatoes were breaded and deep fried, not too much tomato flavor. The brisket was good, albeit a bit...

as well. Here’s a quick rundown. La Goudale, Biere blonde a l’ancienne, Les Brasseurs de Gayant, Doval. This was far and away the most interesting of the French canned beers, truly a craft beer. Very full bodied, just...

I have been going to Petrillo’s on and off since the 90’s. My husband and I went this past Friday and was met with a short blond girl with a pretty bad attitude. She never said hello and said we had to wait. She made...

had the steak frites. That’s a filet (about 8 ounces), with about 6 to 8 thick cut french fries. No veggies or anything else on the plate, but some green peppercorn sauce. Good. Not great. Overpriced at $42. A satisfying...

from a humungous burger at Tim’s which I hadn’t been to since returning from Australia with a burger craving 8 years ago (cuz no one makes burgers as well as the US of A). I nipped this next trip’s craving in...

before 7 (or is it 7:30) on weekdays you can get $1 sushi. Sakana – more of a classical sushi restaurant – nice blond wood look. Pizzeria Paridiso – be prepared for a wait but it’s worth it. gabriel for...
