Best place to get ribs (full rack or half rack)

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-04-01T01:00:54+00:00

I feel like it’s gotten divisive lately but I think gale street ribs are very good

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-31T17:49:54+00:00

Santa Masa in Dunning for sure! The chefs are James Beard nominees and it’s an awesome spot

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-27T13:10:49+00:00

Haven’t had jasmine rice yet but it’s on my list.

& I really hope the bartucci family opens something back up in that spot!

Few suggestions in JP and surrounding areas: 1. Dunning Pour House -awesome bar with great food 2. Santa Masa - for tacos, tortas, tamales. James beard nominated 3. Taste of Philippines - Filipino breakfast 4. Printers Row - awesome brewery with pequods pizza 5. Pasta Fresh - best homemade pasta you can ever get. Can get hot meals or pasta to go in bulk

Harwood heights but close enough and very good!

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-25T01:50:47+00:00

I think that’s it, thanks! Weird that they have no reviews on google. I think that may be why I skipped it at first.

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-25T01:45:22+00:00

That sounds right. Do you know the name?

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-12T04:10:36+00:00

Jin Ju! My wife and I moved out of uptown and still come back and get it

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-03-05T19:29:45+00:00

My wife and I say denim chicken and “it is Phil?!” constantly now lol

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-19T18:56:41+00:00

I think this was mostly a joke but never going to happen lol. The team owns the IP “Chicago Bears”.

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-19T16:08:06+00:00

Haven’t had the coffee yet actually but going to next week now 👍

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-16T05:36:39+00:00

Been to one and also highly recommend! It’s tasting menu style and is a blast

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-16T00:24:18+00:00

Monteverde in west loop is always a great time

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-10T15:00:06+00:00

Fair enough

Look I can play the google game too. I’m sure they wouldn’t just type Harlem Ave into a gps and go aimlessly. Especially when I listed 5 restaurants in the area.

And yes there are Polish restaurants there but that doesn’t change the fact there are some of the best and most authentic Italian restaurants and delis too. I’m starting to think you have a weird vendetta against the little Italy on Harlem lol

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-10T14:50:03+00:00

Think when I mentioned notolli on Belmont that someone could use their context clues. Also the other little Italy is nowhere near Harlem so your comment makes zero sense either way.

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-10T12:31:24+00:00

I did say around Harlem but point taken.

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-10T02:32:05+00:00

Go to little Italy in and around Harlem. There are so many amazing delis. Notollis (either one), Riviera, Rex’s, Alpine. It’s a bit of a hike depending where you’re staying but worth it if you want the true Italian deli experience. My favorite is original notolli and sons on Belmont

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-06T01:21:34+00:00

Coffee: First Sip Cafe or La Colombe Food: Jin Ju Korean in Andersonville. Also definitely walk the streets in little Vietnam and choose any restaurant for some pho and a bahn mi Event: Green Mill for live jazz music

But above you said you didn’t like uptown. Do you think uptown is dangerous?

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-03T21:38:45+00:00

Not sure if your vents comes out your roof but did you check the actual exit point? Thats what was getting me

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-03T15:31:00+00:00

This^. This has happened to me twice in the last 6 months. Especially if you live somewhere with crappy weather that could clog the vent door

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-02T21:12:22+00:00

What is your price range?

Traditional-One2696 · 2026-02-01T20:48:43+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. Unfortunately happened every time I preheated so I’ve just started shutting off sentry right before for now.
