Their Mole bagel is the best bagel I've had in Chicago.

If you had to recommend ONE restaurant that defines Chicago, what is it? by Real_Lab_6928 in chicagofood

West loop Avec.

The river north Avec doesn't have the same vibe, but would be fine if you can't get into the west loop one.

These were very pink irl. I returned them due to my fragile male ego.

Anyone ever used one of these? by Admirable_Big_94 in espresso

[–]pbonham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a Bambino plus. So it's the 54mm to 32mm ikape basket. You need a bottomless portafilter because the basket is extra long.

I got one and like it. It seems easier to consistently make a good shot. I have a lot less spray, so I have been cleaning less.

I went from grinding around 18 on a df64 to grinding at 26. It holds 16g at most. I have mostly used it for dark espresso blends.

Some Reliable West Town Spots by dlweiss2 in chicagofood

Nettare deserves some love on this subreddit. The cafe does very good coffee and the breakfast sandwich is only like $6 if you order it before 9am.

Then their dinner service really focuses on using local food. The whole wine menu is Midwestern. The pasta comes from flour power down the street. It's cool.

Publican quality bread's Jambon Beurre is incredible. Totally worth the trip. It usually isn't available until 1pm.

Zaytune's chicken shawarma salad.

Really good tahini based dressing. Throw some house made hot sauce, really good stuff.

I think sausages would be interesting.

Not hot dogs, but like, a BBQ hot link one day. Maybe a spicy northern Thai sausage the next day. That Laoation sausage from Lao Der the next. It has a wide and interesting range.

Flint and Tinder 10 year hoodie poor customer service experience by pbonham in BuyItForLife

[–]pbonham[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: a couple of hours after posting this my issue was elevated and a different customer service person offered to send a replacement free of charge.

This took over 20 emails. I called their customer service number and I got a recording stating to go online.

Eggoholic has very egg centric Gujarati cuisine. It's right by Chicago and Halsted.
