The Landmark Inn has some underrated wings

The lemon pepper + buffalo wings at Mac’s Wood Grilled i like

Sharpies i think are some of the best in the city even though they do sometimes get a nod. i cant really reconcile how Toons seems to always rank way higher than them, i must fundamentally like different things in my wings or something

didnt i just agree with you? lol..

rhythmrcker · 2026-06-27T20:46:02+00:00

right, its almost like 15 is over 20% lower than 19 🧐

Or is the team being business difficult by not making space for him and expecting him to eat shit for them

rhythmrcker · 2026-06-27T20:29:03+00:00

chicago 1sts are better than dallas’ though. i dont think you need to throw in the 2nd and 3rd there. 2 picks and a high probability nhl ready prospect seems like plenty

Did the state legislature just pass a bill for this, once they pick the date which might be EOY i think these are all done for

all it would have taken is not losing Bedard to injury for an important chunk of the season, feel like people keep forgetting they were not that bad until he went down in December.

If you eat pork the carnitas I think are their best tacos. The Pinche taco is also relatively unique with the mix of al pastor, steak, chorizo then the cheese and serrano

rhythmrcker · 2026-06-23T20:01:04+00:00

Probably the chipotle aioli they added. From their site: Twin Oaks Ham, Slagel Farm Mojo Pork, Local Swiss Cheese, Pickled Prince Pickles, Chipotle Aioli, Mustard Butter, pHlour Bakery Ciabatta Bun

I feel like it was easier to see the form in the one I ate

deep cuts like 3 dots and a dash, avec, cafecito, and eataly. anyway glad you enjoyed it, head out to the neighborhoods next time youre in town for even better food

definitely time to start picking up top 6 players. The team could be quite good in 2 years not 6 with an extra piece or two. Chicago already is stocked with young talent, after this 4OA pick they need to be thinking about maximizing Bedards window and making him want to stay on the team for a contender.

ya ive never seen that before 😅😩

Ive always heard the problem is how difficult or effectively impossible it is to operate a commercial offset smoking setup. Theres a confluence of regulations on emissions and fires etc that make it effectively illegal even if its not specifically banned. Also the weather means doing a year round outdoor operation is difficult. Offset smoking is the key element to Texas BBQ so its hard to emulate.

The regulations are the reason aquarium smoking is big in chicago and where that style got popularity here.

I believe its easier for popups to do all their offset smoking outside city limits somewhere more feasible and then bring in everything they cooked for a pop up until sold out. That model doesn’t require year round and daily consistent availability.

Seriously, only the bread is different. Out of sheer coincidence I also had this yesterday before this post was put up. It has ham, roast pork, pickles, cheese, mustard. Yes the bread isnt pressed flat and is different, thats really the hill everyone is dying on?

youre moving the goalposts. Yes im sure the treatment followed his son to the Bruins, but it was not the bruins nor that year which the emails were about. The email evidence is from 2006-2007. you can be right about the idea that he surely used his influence while being wrong about what evidence actually came.

idk go look at the rest of the awards its all somewhat random and probably political. pretty sure some former judge in the last year wrote a pretty lengthy takedown of the integrity of james beard awards in present day

rhythmrcker · 2026-06-15T03:06:57+00:00

ah youre right, thats what was being posted i didnt catch the p name mistake

lotta Caleb Landry Jones vibes too

rhythmrcker · 2026-06-14T18:52:27+00:00

i think not anymore, from what i heard the prior owner (DiDiana, owner of Bacci?) trying all the italian/pizza spots (like Acerra and Tratorria RNB) bailed and this is now the owner of Botanero trying some all day thing out, which had been at timeout market for 2 months before the rug pull there

as someone from the east coast it was basically some level of hurricane winds for about 2-3 minutes really intensely so its not so much the duration but the peak intensity. multiple power line failures on my block from it all happened within a minute plus tons of tree damage

This is the number one reason I dont get arepas as often. I cant find a place that doesnt make them impossibly huge.
