YUM! I love some good cupcakes and when I say good - I mean good. This place is AWESOME.

Delish chowda! Spoon stands straight up! Stick of butter in a bowl, just yummy. Also had the broiled scallops, baked and squash. Topping was slightly dark, but flavor was good.

I like breakfast, but it’s really tough to find a great place to eat the most important meal of the day. Cafe 222 does a pretty good job though. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table on a Saturday morning, not a big deal when it’s 68 and sunny out. Which I guess is all the time? Plus, there’s a little coffee station you can use while you wait, making for a far less cranky pre-dining experience.

There are great memories at this cafe for me, after an acquaintance introduced me to this petite Alice Waters space.

Came here just for the corn…the restaurant next door is where you dine in and this one is mainly for the corn. Me and the bf got 2 roasted corn for about $5 and some change. The corn was a good size and it had this crusty cheese on it with some other spices and when melted the crusty cheese melted and it tasted like butter…totally melts in your mouth! It also goes great with fresh squeeze lime!

This was definitely one of those nights when all caution would be thrown to the wind. And by that, I mean we ordered a bottle of champagne and a souffle. The souffle Grand Marnier to be exact. Watching your carbs, sugar, and cholesterol? Get outta here! Life’s too short.

The cab they recommended was definitely good. Decently priced, too. It was full-bodied and had strong berry aroma.

Cafe Shambala is a family run restaurant where you will find a very homely environment with traditional Tibetan settings. We assure you the very best test of Tibet locally, and make your dinning experience a memorable.

In 1948, Charlie Vergos cleaned out a basement below his diner, discovered a coal chute, and started a legend.

I must admit I was skeptical of this place at first, but having driven by so many times the catchy name stuck in my head. So tonight when I was craving Indian I realized I hadn’t eaten a thing all day. I knew I had less than an hour to grab something and get to class, took a peek at a few fellow yelper reviews, and without a look back pointed my mustang toward Curry in a Hurry.

I was in town for a friend’s birthday and knew I had to get doughnuts from this joint as her treat. She has tried to go so many times, but keeps missing it. They sell out fast! …or she goes to work late. ;)

Felicia Suzanne’s specializes in American cuisine with a Southern, low-country flair.

Frida Bistro is named after Frida Kahlo, a passionate Mexican artist who expressed herself by painting her life. Her passion for art and unique style made her one of the pre-eminent luminaries of modern Mexican art in the 20th century.

Girl & the Goat has been serving fun foods, craft beers, and making wine in a rustic and bad ass environment since summer 2010. The restaurant opens at 4:30 every day, and stays open until 11pm on weeknights and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays (until those last late night eaters scrape their fork across the plate for the last time, or finish licking their plates until they’re shiny and clean). The Goat’s menu is divided into three categories: Vegetable, Fish, and of…

I was here this past Fall and after a few days of hitting it hard at the bars, we wanted something a little more easy going.

The legend of “Jim’s Original” started over 70 years ago, when a young, bright-eyed European immigrant named “Jimmy” arrived in America. Once in Chicago, Jimmy began working at a small hot dog stand on the bustling corners of Maxwell and Halsted Streets.

Jimmy’s Red Hots is a Chicago Land hot dog stand located on Chicago’s West Side. Jimmy’s location would be considered in between Garfield and Humbolt Parks. Located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Pulaski, Jimmy’s has called this intersection home for over 55 years. We go back to when Pulaski was still called Crawford!

Best Italian Beef I have ever eaten. If the Travel Network wanted to do others favors they would send them here instead of the more promoted places, i.e. Al’s and Mr. Beef.

Kuma’s offers the finest fare for burger lovers in all of Chicago. For the last five years, we’ve been cranking out some of the most creative, mouthwatering burgers this side of Jupiter. Whether you want to be immersed in heavy metal culture or you are just looking for the best burger you’ve ever eaten in your life, Kuma’s Corner has all of the ducks in a row to satiate your most intimate meat craving desires. That said, we do have some rules we’d appreciate you abide by:

After walking up Halsted searching for a place to kill a couple of hours before continuing my journey out of state and only seeing one lame bar after the other, I figured I might as well walk the four blocks back and save myself from more disappointment.
