Sweet Rice (Chicago)

By

October 21, 2021

If you live in Bucktown you’ve probably walked past Sweet Rice a zillion times and didn’t think twice about it. It’s easy to miss, nestled underneath the Western Blue Line tracks. Don’t ignore it next time. Go in and be as impressed as I was.

I’ll admit that maybe the…

Summertime Chi is in full swing in Chicago (if you know, you know!) The dogs are out, people are getting sunburnt, and most importantly, patio season is in full swing.

If you’re like me, you like a nice cold beer or a stiff icy cocktail on a warm summer day….

Before our food came, I left the table to use the restroom. On my way back I snuck a peek into the kitchen and my jaw dropped to the floor. There, sitting under the heat lamps and expediting station was a hodgepodge of some of the best looking yet-t0-be…

Pequod’s Pizza (Chicago)

By

February 13, 2020

If there’s a better way to consume shaved ice than the Kakigori at Gaijin, I don’t want to know about it.

I’d never ever heard of Kakigori before going to Gaijin and I’ve eaten my weight in Japanese desserts…in Japan.

Dollar for dollar, I don’t think there’s a better steakhouse in Chicago.

Where else can you get a high-quality steak dinner for under 30 bucks? Your choice of a New York Strip, Rib Eye, or Flat Iron dinner for $29. That includes a side, a salad, and a complimentary soup ‘appetizer.’

Paulie Gee’s (Chicago)

By

September 15, 2019

I feel a little strange writing about Paulie Gees. It’s not because I just whoofed down an entire pizza…and a few slices of my wife’s pizza. That’s a normal Tuesday afternoon.

It’s because while writing about Paulie Gees I feel I’m caught in a betrayal. Not to a person, but…
