"Cozy lil bar in Streeterville where you can order hot dogs, polish, burgers, etc., from Downtown Dogs next door. One of my favorite places for lunch by the office."

"I wish this Italian deli was in my office building instead of L'Appetito. Awesome selection, decent prices, and amazing sandwiches."

"Awesome Italian grocery in the West Loop; amazing Italian subs and really good white anchovies."

"Really good cajun food in A'ville. Particularly great for brunch - the Eggs New Orleans is basically Benedict with crab cakes. Also, beignets are served. The fried chicken is also quite nice."

"Best burgers ever. The wait is pretty re-goddamn-diculous at times, but the selection of microbrews and delicious metal-themed gourmet burgers. I recommend the "Slayer" - which is an open-faced 1/4 An"

"Some of the finest BBQ in the city - great ribs, tips, hot links. The brisket is the strongest offering - be sure to ask for extra mustard sauce."
