brewed on premises, good food, big , probably noisy, but the place will be full of Sox/celtics Fans. More intimate, and with great wings, would be Coolidge Corner Clubhouse, about 2 miles west of Fenway, on Harvard Street in...

There have been many recent discussions on this board about cheesesteak joints. I always enthusiastically recommend Markie D’s, located on Washington Blvd about one block east of Sepulveda in Culver City. A lot of people...

"Champion" on the storefront, though I’m not sure. “Sampiyon” is how it is spelt in Turkish and that is how I know it. It is on the north side of Danforth, just west of Donlands Ave.

Well, it’s not exactly downtown, but one of the best sausage-makers in the Chi area is Randy Ream’s Elburn Market in Elburn, IL. It’s almost 50 miles west of the Loop, and it’s worth the trip! He has won...

is at Devens (formerly Fort Devens), about 30 miles west of Boston on rt. 2.

, very good food. The best food at the West End is at Papagallios.

Jongewaard’s, Long Beach: YUM fresh fruit pancakes without that gloppy gel or overly sweet fruit syrup. Doughboys, Hollywood and West LA

. Joseph, which is one exit West of St. Cloud on I94.) http://www.chowhound.com/photos/68925 Oh, boy were my expectations exceeded. First, there is a meat counter with several butchers—but, we never made it to the counter...

I had a quick sandwich at the one on Kirby, and it was fine. The one on West Grey is good, but not fabulous. One of their managers has opened her own restaurant on Memorial/Westcott. It’s called Shandy’s Cafe, and it...

. For the ultimate in teenage fare, go across the bridge into west springfield to the White Hut for great cheeseburgers, hot dogs and fries. It’s an institution. Very few seats however. Link: http://www.whitehut.com/

I’ve championed this little joint for some time, but on my last visit (just after the Times-Pic’s “100 Best” list appeared), Hillbilly was swamped by hordes of review-followers. Sorta spoiled my...

Spot on. The name-less place (that I apparently also cannot remember – think it’s called "Champion ___" or something similar?) in the Focus Plaza is next to a boba/ice slush place if I recall correctly. First level,...

I like Yiu Wah which is located about a block west of spadina&dundas. It is on the 3rd floor of a building that houses Champions horse racing centre in the basement and I believe it to be a Starbucks or a Second Cup or maybe a...

place on Dundas with green tiles (whose name I never knew) that mostly catered to gambling men. Added to this was the Great China a little later and further west on Dundas but still not as far as University Ave. In the 70s, major...
