Had brunch today at aforementioned restaurant. Not too bad. Good eggs benedict, nice runny yolk, tasty ham and potatoes. Shared a Belgin waffle that was excellent. It was smothered in strawberries, bannanas and whipped cream....

In the mood for something frozen and creamy the other day, and not feeling like my usual choice, an Oreo Concrete at Scooter’s Frozen Custard (an unsophisticated order perhaps, but oh so delicious), I made my way up Belmont...

Zim’s earlier mention of Taqueria El Rincon got me interested in this place, so I checked it out last night. Zim stated in his review that he believes Taqueria El Rincon’s food is an improvement over Los Mogotes de...

Since I recently moved back to Rogers Park after living in Albany Park for awhile, I have been to Candlelite a few times in the past few weeks. While Candlelite produces a tasty pie, I wouldn’t call it great—certainly...

Just hulped down some Paczki from Bennison’s Bakery in Evanston, corner of Davis and Maple. The bottom line: They are very, very good, better than the much hyped Paczki at (the Polish) Oak Mill bakery in Niles (which seem...

Kenny: Based on their listed Brews on Tap as of two weeks ago, the followiing are awesome beers, IMHO: Anchor Foghorn (one of the very very best barleywines), try it alongside any other (they might have Rogue Crustacean, Dogfish...

Thanks for the report Kenny. It’s always useful to see follow-up reports of recently touted places.

OK, so I live around the corner from Spoon, and have only tried a few of their standard menu offerings such as PT, Lad Nar, Pad Sie Ew, etc. Which are all excellent of course, but it’s time to try something more...

Does anyone know if the frozen pops sold out of carts all summer are available in stores anywhere? My son loves the arroz (we all do), and don’t want to face a whole winter of deprivation.

What do Chowhounds consider the best offerings from Joe the Sausage King? What sausage do you think he does best? What kind of salami would you recommend? How do you rate his Polish sausage? Any recommendations/advice will be...

Anyone know of a market in the city that regularly carries purslane? I believe it’s native to India ... any markets on Devon where people have seen it? Many thanks, rien

Just came back from an enjoyable meal at Spoon Thai—good Issan Sausage, good wide rice noodles, good potstickers...but not so good “Catfish” Salad. I put the catfish in quotations because, quite frankly, I...

Kenny - Lutz would be one of my top choices. Rolf’s and Froggy’s in Highwood (you would have to order ahead) are the others. Let us know what you end up with!

....IMO, at least. I live down the street, and I wouldn’t buy their 'za again if it was the last pie on the planet! Evanston/Rogers Park has a severe Pizza Problem, I think. I’ve tried all of the chains (meaning...

the cafe menu that Palena serves in the front room. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. Also, am I crazy, or did Palena used to be a Kenny Rogers Roasters? What a makeover!
