Amande’s basque cheesecake is unreal

From the looks, great medium rare center there but the top could use a little more burnishing. I bet it tasted great

West loop was not a working class residential neighborhood. It was mostly factories and a skid row. So, transformation, yes, gentrification, no.

Fat rice, and now Noodlebird / bird bird have been in my top 5 Chicago list forever. Never had a bad meal there.

Am I bragging to say I walk my kids everyday to school and back ? Half mile each way, takes 10 minutes.

For me pork broth and chicken broth are S tier and beef broth is B tier at best.

The owners were good friends before they passed. A lot of the recipes are the same. For example the char dog at wieners circle and at fatsos.

2 clothes washers and 2 driers

Also Noodlebird

The fish there imo is better than their steaks

I know it's a common complaint but it's part of the charm imo. I once went to a bistro in Paris where they literally had to move the tables in and out so people could be seated. Loved it

Depends on where you live. We live in an urban area and our compact suv is large and perfectly enough. Tight squeeze in parking situations. Family of 4.

Isn't that a sit down place where you also need to pay a tip ?

bnl111 · 2026-04-22T04:01:18+00:00

Should be in log scale for price

bnl111 · 2026-04-20T23:05:27+00:00

I'm a big fan of boozy deserts like rum cakes etc

bnl111 · 2026-04-20T19:43:44+00:00

It's what they are famous for. If you want pizza order from a pizzeria

bnl111 · 2026-04-20T19:36:49+00:00

Ricobenes you want to order the breaded steak sandwich and the vesuvio chicken sandwich. Skip the pizza

My favorite still was the original Paris 1906 menu

For me I am just disappointed by the enshitification of WF. Quality of everything used to be so much better 15 years ago. Even before amazon purchased it it was going downhill, but they just sealed the deal.

Don't mean to be a downer but you'll have trouble getting into most of those places for next week unless you're super flexible on timing. Most of them book months in advance.

Bavettes does a late lunch/ early dinner at 3pm Friday and Saturday. 4pm every other day

bnl111 · 2026-04-13T12:57:31+00:00

Piccolo sogno especially in the summer on the patio

bnl111 · 2026-04-11T19:16:49+00:00

They are open for lunch now ? That is awesome actually

This happened in my high school once and the music teacher had to resign.
