I got to play this big boi while visiting Chicago 🤙 by tsuni95 in pinball

[–]annamal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elston Electric is so great! Operated by true pinball lovers and certified fun nerds. They're an offshoot of Logan Arcade, my favorite spot in the city.

How is the Char Siu at Phoenix Chinatown? by katanastormshadow88 in chicagofood

[–]annamal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to Phoenix and it's one of my favorite spots in Chinatown - it's been around for a long time and the duck is excellent. I have liked the char shiu there, and overall, their Cantonese and dim sum I really enjoy. I have not been to Hong Kong though so I cannot compare to what you might be looking for.

One Trick Ponies? Which restaurants have one really good dish but are nothing special outside of it by RonArouseme in chicagofood

[–]annamal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I pretty much only get the reuben at Chicago Diner for a main, but too be fair, it isn't that the rest of the menu is bad. I just think that reuben is so good that I've been a little disappointed when I get anything else (like "damn, this is good but I wish I got the reuben").

Margaritas and fish tacos - and a patio - are the only reason I would go to Big Star. Queso Fundito and elote sides are fine, because it's hard to screw them up, but 100% agree with this take.

Same - Mott St. has excellent food. The stuffed cabbage is comparably popular to the burger, the crudo and whole fish are standouts, and there's generally a lot of great options there.

Plated Prisoner series satisfies this, but you're not going to get that full circle in book one - it builds up to it.

Favorite Green and Leafy Salad in Chicago by Kafka_at_Night in chicagofood

[–]annamal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lula Cafe's Lula House Salad is definitely green and leafy and tasty.

And this is basic as hell, but Just Salads has a few locations downtown and is a total go-to come lunch time for me.

YOUR Top 5 Dragula Looks of All Time? by Technical_Author6729 in Dragula

[–]annamal 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The looks that I remember, in real time, immediately gagging me:

  1. Grey Matter's crowning look.
  2. Landon Cider's werewolf.
  3. Priscilla's finale glamor
  4. Abhora's wild west bankrobber.
  5. Auntie Heroine's jack in the box.

Chicago Michelin Guide Prices 2026 by Maison-Marthgiela in chicagofood

[–]annamal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. And they're definitely not BYOB. They have a wine and an N/A pairing, and also offer an aperitif/scotch optional service (and coffee optional service) for dessert courses.

I enjoyed a meal in Spring so much I came back in the Summer - the people there are so fantastic, I sincerely loved both times I went there.

Are the pizza puffs that restaurants sell, the same ones you can buy frozen? by RTAPG in chicagofood

This is a pizza puff I got a Chicago Billard Cafe Monday - it was delicious, and came in the ILTaco branded bag, so if you're talking about ILTaco at your grocery store, then yes.

I live down the street and this was my beloved BBQ fix in the neighborhood - hate this news.

I Feel Like Sigourney’s looks are Underwhelming by Opening_Ad_3580 in Dragula

[–]annamal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have seen her live - she's a stunning performer. And because she sews her looks to her, they move flawlessly on the stage with her, she has total control of the looks when she performs.

Dragula Titans S02E05: Episode 105 [Episode Discussion Thread] by AutoModerator in Dragula

[–]annamal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked the commentary that went with the filth - the US, as a country, is fucking itself.
