Went to On's Kitchen saturday before the early Turf show. Chicken Praram Long Song w/ stir fried broccoli, peanut sauce & crushed peanuts served with rice. Best meal I've had in a long time.

On's spring rolls. Extremely good but I'll order vegetarian next time.

Zig's birthday meal was at Taco Taxi. Lately I've been getting a side of rice and covering it in salsa picante. It's a more satisfying meal than consuming 3-4 tacos (gasp). zotripoli got an asada quesadilla that was pretty amazing. Made me remember how much I love queso blanco.

Taco Taxi's quesadillas are insane.

Had vegetarian nachos (NO THANK YOU, I DON'T WANT THE VEGAN CHEESE) before the cedar show. A Vern joint. I've had hella burnt cheese in the middle of my nachos recently so now I ask who's cooking before I order them. Anything Ramona or Vern cooks is always pretty amazing. The lettuce kind of hides how good they were but whatever. $6 during happy hour and it's a god damn meal. $3 rails and pints. I like to do half Newcastle & half cider (I guess Hardcore went out of business so now it's Crispin). 3-4 of those really hits the spot. Pickled and or fresh jalapenos for life.

Man, you dont really seem to live up to yr namesake much, do you, sir?
|
|
|
I eat out 3 or so times a week (shut up) which is probably more than I should but I'm single with no one else to take care of and or support. Food is just high on the priority list at the time being.
|
|
|
:) Just teasin. Yr name just seems ironic in this context. I laffed.
|
|
|
Oh I completely agree. :)
Man were those good nachos. No sour cream please, that stuff is not needed in my food path.
|
|
|
I could go for some nachos big time right now. Sour cream does not belong in any food path.
|
|
|
Hot tip: veggie sausage on the nachos is the best choice of all the proteins offered. Saying.
|
|
|
I value your opinion and will try that next time.
|

Those curds look under-done.
|
|
|
Pizza looks like a foot.
|
|
|
i assure you the curds were perfectly done
i have not perfected my making round pizza technique
|
|
|
Pizzas don't need to be round, mine are typically oval. I like the foot.

Can't argue with a pizza.

Meatball sandwich from Miceli's Deli. Not pictured: sausage sandwich which sounds like a lot to eat but the sausage was the size of a hot dog but of course more better than a hot dog. Amazing bread at this place.

This Italian beef from "David's grill" in Lawndale was "ok" but apparently the sweet peppers ended up just being sauteed bell peppers? Probably should have known better with a place who slangs, "Chicago food", Mexican food and gyros etc. all under one roof. Mental note: stick with neighborhood delis vs. "get every thing in one spot places." It was unfortunately the only spot around.

the black bean hummus plate from Muddy Waters is awesome!
I really miss their black bean hummus sandwich though. It was my work-lunch jam for a while.

All the food I ate in Chicago last go round was terrible. It made me so homesick.

Yeah, that's a great area for eating. Love Wicker Park / Ukrainian Village.

ok, I agree. I've gotten it twice now and it's a really nice bite for two for $6.

Last Saturday after hanging out at HBrewing for a while I went over to El Nuevo Rodeo to meet up with Manny and his father. I somehow managed to eat everything pictured on this carne asada plate except for a piece of really fatty bacon in the charro beans and still keep drinking until 2am without throwing up. It was a wonderful meal, day and night.

Triple Rock mac n cheese with pickled jalapenos. I always very politely ask for the jalapenos to be cooked into the mac n cheese but you can't always have everything you want in life and I've grown to except that.
|
|
|
That offends me. I will have a talk with the kitchen staff about that on-the-side business.
|
|
|
I really wish the t-rock mac-n-cheese didn't have black pepper because otherwise it's delicious, especially with bacon. I hate black pepper so much that it's a dealbreaker, but I was told it couldn't be left out.
|
|
|
How's a grownup gonna hate black pepper?
How do you eat scrambled eggs? Or any type of cream soup?
|
|
|
I hate black pepper (and really don't eat like a grownup).
I eat scrambled eggs with cheese and cream soup with crackers. There are other flavors besides black pepper in this world. You can live without it. I always just thought it was a cop-out spice other people used because they didn't like their food.

I arrived at amh's memorial day bbq armed with two kinds of brats from sentyrz but I had no idea there was going to be GRILLED PIZZA. This is something my dad and I used to make in Phoenix in the mid 90s. This is the prosciutto pie. I didn't get a chance to snag one of makr's vegetarian but that looked delicious as well. Adam left 10 minutes before the pizza was ready. I couldn't understand what the hell was going on. Maybe he didn't realize there was going to be grilled pizza... :/
|
|
|
pickled peppers! That sounds new. I must try.
I don't think any pizzeria in town has a good enough crust to get away with Black Sheep's tomato-oregano jobber.
|
|
|
i didn't know there was going to be pizza!
|
|
|
boris, i remember looking at their menu a couple of years ago and they had giardiniera listed. that's what i was looking for when i came across "pickled peppers." then i was all..."what the hay why don't they just say banana peppers, no wait, i think these are pepperoncinis. yes, these are pepperoncinis." the sauce to cheese to peppers ratio kind of blew my mind on top of that amazing crust.
i'll be back to try the regular tomato-oregano and the tomato-meatball you suggested. i can believe that these pizzas do not need cheese.

Sometimes people sms pictures of food they are about to eat to my cellular phone. Last friday a friend alerted me to the fact that Joe's Deli over on 38th & Portland had only been open for a week or so.
Said friend's "Gangster Fries" which are apparently fries covered with gyro meat, nacho cheese, lettuce, tomato, tzatziki sauce, AND last but not least Jumbo Shrimp.
|
|
|
Look away Savage Clone!
|
|

thank you for letting me know what gangster fries are. i received a menu when i stopped in to buy some sodas there last week and was wondering what they were since the menu offered no explanation
|
|
|
Nix the nacho cheese (normally delicious but not needed here) & jumbo shrimp (barf) and I'm sold.
Did you see any italian beef on the menu?
|
|
|
Not sure, I didn't really scan the meat selections. I think they had fried cheese though.
|

omg there is a taco house that's open at 5am?

Zapata/Zantigo served a "hamburger" which was their taco meat on a bun. Which I would eat as a youngster when I couldn't get McDonalds because I didn't go in for that ethnic stuff.

I don't have any pics of the donuts I just made. But they are/were delish. I took a 35cent roll of biscuits, twirled them a bit on a chopstick, fry them in my castiron...then got sacked with some brown sugar. With my ice coffee...touchdown!

No celery (fine by me), just cheese, lime, olive, and pickle. They're $3 on weekday mornings until 11am for happy hour.

Celery is a muuust for me. Olives and pickles and pepperoncini make little sense in a drink that's already a salt bomb.
Favorite bloody mary garnish I've seen lately: garlic cheese toast.

Hanging out at Fancy Ray's 3rd Annual Pork of July celebration last weekend. Biked there pretty loaded and lit up. Biked back even more so. 12+ miles total which is more than I'm personally used to but thankfully it was more or less a straight shot on the greenway to that one inner ring suburb. Cause I'm a sissy and stuff. I consumed so much this day Hedonismbot would have definitely high fived me.

in a state known for pork tenderloin Boondocks is widely regarded as tops in the field.
The fries being as pale makes me think the white balance is off or maybe the oil was just that brand new.
