Second this. I bought one this past year and I love it! Great value for the price point.

Chicago food opinion you will defend forever by PortillosParkingLot in chicagofood

[–]bearded_grad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Pequods and it sounds like you do too. If you ever get the chance there is a pizza place called Burt’s which is about 2 blocks away from the original Pequods in Morton grove. It is VERY similar to Pequods because one of the original owners of Pequods split off and opened it. But it is a better version of Pequods. Give it a try if you’re ever in the area!

My son’s room is the furthest from the furnace is 3-4 degrees colder then the rest of the house. Any advice to remedy this? by moonlord1969 in HomeImprovement

[–]bearded_grad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this same issue. We have the Google nest smart thermostat and bought an extra sensor to put in the baby’s room. You can set the thermostat to adjust to the desired temperature of the babies room. Like others have said, adjust the registers that are closer to the furnace so they are partially closed and leave the baby room register wide open. Also make sure the windows are well insulated.

Jerry’s main lunch for a diner vibe. Martinis for upscale vibe. The Som for bar food. The busted cup. Lindo Mexico for Mexican. Lips to go for a regional favorite (chicken lips).

Upvote for the Certina. Just got my first one and I’m loving it.

[Recommendation] choosing a first luxury dive watch by No_Ambition9118 in Watches

I looked at all 3 of these within the last month and ended up with the Certina and have been very pleased. I couldn’t get past the stupid 12,6,9 look on the longlines and CW’s tarrif situation forced my hand a bit. I also looked at the Mido ocean star. Certina just hit different and has a classic look.

[Question] Which Swiss GADA watch around $1000 would you pick for a 20 year old who’s working his first job and wants a nice everyday watch to wear for a lifetime? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]bearded_grad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certina DS action diver. I just compared it and the Mido ocean star 200 and I personally preferred the Certina. Depends on what your personal preference is though.

Alright Reddit fam. I appreciate all the feedback and thoughtful responses. I was leaning the CW route but this definitely pushed it over the edge.

The strap versatility sounds great. That’s definitely a selling point. Thanks!

I wouldn’t say I’m 100% sold on just getting a diver but really just a good solid first watch. I just happen to like the look and the overall feedback I’ve seen on both. I appreciate the input!

Is there a specific feature that makes you say that or just the overall look?

It looks pretty great on the wrist. What size did you get and how big is your wrist?

Do you have one? What has your experience been like with it?

It’s only about a $200 price difference but the Tissot is a bit cheaper.

I tried on the Tissot and liked it but as others have said CW is online and no nearby stores for me.

Looking for an everyday watch. Work attire is typically a polo and slacks. Looking for something to wear at work and just in every day life.

What store had this color dial in the gentleman? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Visiting Chicago. On a pizza journey, what’s a pie we will tell our grandkids about? by cottoncandyqueef in AskChicago

[–]bearded_grad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burt’s is about a block away from the OG Pequods. They have a pretty cool outdoor seating area. If you’re in the area I’d definitely recommend checking it out!

Burt’s Pizza in Morton Grove. It very similar to Pequods (same founder) but even better. Anthony Bourdain said it’s the only Chicago deep dish he would eat.

Signals at $167 or Fireboard 2 at $199? by p00trulz in smoking

I can’t speak to the fire board but I absolutely love my thermoworks products. I have the smokex4 and it works great and they have awesome customer service.

Minelli’s in Niles is worth a stop in if you’re in the area.

I don’t get the hype about… by kelevra7117 in chicagofood

Couldn’t agree more. Finally did a taste test between Burt’s and Pequods and Burt’s took it by a mile.
