"Huey, Dewey and Louie walk
into a Chinese Restaurant."

  • Food: Chinese
  • Decor: .
  • Service:
  • Cost: $
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

Do yourself a favor and call ahead to order the duck over the phone when you make a reservation so it's ready to go when you get there. Because if you've never tried the duck, you're quackers! Take some friends too because it's a lot of food. They carve the duck tableside and then while you nosh on the peking duck (served with bao-like bread as opposed to the pancakes I was accustomed to in Hong Kong - not a bad thing, just different) they knock out making a soup and rice dish with the remainder of the duck. Fantastic. But I always run out of the Peking duck portion.

Special Dishes:

Peking Duck

"Nothing like freshly baked
bread..."

  • Food:

Overview:

...to make your hummus taste that much better. It's not really in my neighborhood which is why I haven't tried many things on the menu, but if you want garlicky hummus with a warm wonderful vehicle to get it to your mouth (aforementioned Turkish flatbread), this here is the place. It also reminds me of a place I went to near Selçuk, which is exactly what you want from a Turkish place.

Special Dishes:

Hummos (comes with bread)

"Happy as a clam"

  • Food: Seafood, Breakfast, Sandwiches
  • Decor: Chalkboards and wood
  • Service:
  • Cost: $
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

Here's a place that treats its seafood in an unpretentious manner and puts all of its energy into the flavor. Best clam chowder I've had in Chicago (the bacon doesn't hurt). As I waddle away after a meal at Glenn's, I want to sit on a New England dock with my sandwich leftovers and stick my feet in the water even with the frigid Chicago air nipping at that warmth in my belly.

Special Dishes:

Clam chowder, Lobster Roll (the messiness makes it fun) with a potato pancake as your side. Smoked trout hash
