These are just amazing. You guys have come up with quite a list, and in very little time. Even as a connoisseur of dives and writer of a Thai burger article, I can’t add much to this. Does anyone know if the vegetarian...

Smoke Daddy and Veloz (great taqueria on Chicago Ave. Get the dry beef). L&L Tavern (3207 N. Clark St) - Lake View dive. Best bar in a 1 mile radius. Lots of food options up Clark. My favs are Ethiopian places on Clark and...
