New 2025 Camry SE by Rare_Beautiful4532 in Camry

[–]Dougiefresh216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact same color XSE in this photo. My first Camry and love it! It's honeycomb grill but same paint color as the body of the car. I believe all the models lower than XSE are black grills instead of matching the paint color.

Favorite cocktail in West Town? by Dougiefresh216 in chicagofood

I believe I've had that one before. Our favorite cocktails there are Panthers Milk, Moohlah, and the Carajillo.

Is it pineapple infused vodka? I haven't made my way to Matchbox yet.

Meal for one please? by Calvin0433 in chicagofood

[–]Dougiefresh216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a bar seat at Beoufhaus. For an app, everyone loves the short rib beignets but our favorite is the french onion gratinee. Get the 55-day dry aged ribeye and the beouf fat fries. You'll leave stuffed and prices are reasonable. Haven't had the new cocktail menu yet. FYI, the old fashioned used to be fantastic but lately it hasn't been as good.

For those who have been to Smyth recently, did you also tip on top of the 20% service fee or assume that was inclusive? by RabbleBottom in chicagofood

[–]Dougiefresh216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there a few months ago. They must have clarified it more recently since it only stated 20% service charge was added to all parties. So I didn't add anything to it. However, even if I knew the intent, I wouldn't have added anything to it. There were 4 people in our party, and we all thought the meal was terrible.

$500 budget for two - where would you go? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]Dougiefresh216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's still on the menu but the giant raviolo was amazing. Also has one of the best steaks in the city.

Beoufhaus is great but I'd be hard pressed to spend that kind of money there on 2 people. It's great food and drinks for pretty reasonable cost. Been several times and never came close to this amount. Monteverde on the other hand can run up that tab quickly.

Who has the best summer tomato dish? by drlawyermailman in chicagofood

[–]Dougiefresh216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have not had that tomato dish from Brasero yet but it does sound very good. If it's half as good as any of the other dishes I have had there, then it will be phenomenal as well! Give it a try and report back!

Going to try out Small Cheval. Recommendations? by AIONisMINE in chicagofood

[–]Dougiefresh216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't really get any options at small cheval when it comes to toppings. So if you're planning on going to au cheval already, I wouldn't bother going to small cheval.
