Lunch at Michael Jordan’s Restaurant
I had a meeting in Oakbrook and the building happened to be right next to Michael Jordan’s Restaurant on 22nd Street. I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening a few years back & hang in the vicinity of His Airness. It was after lunchtime, but I hadn’t eaten – so I stopped into…

Crab Rangoon from Thai Lagoon
Mmm! Special lunch delivery from a special admirer…Pad Thai from Wicker’s Park Thai Lagoon. I’m a known fan of Pad Thai – and the Lagoon makes a flavorful chicken noodle dish. It’s the side dish that diverted my attention, however. If I’m ordering Asian food of any variety and opt for an appetizer – 9…

Where’s the Meatball Sandwich?
An endearing memory of my paternal grandmother involves a meatball sandwich. Nana was visiting from New Jersey and we went out to dinner at Antonino’s along the train tracks in LaGrange. Apparently, our order took too long to come out for Nana’s liking. Yet, she was only concerned with one portion of the order –…

Wojos Forgot the Sport Peppers
Bears season was depressing from start to finish. The worst feeling of the year was Week 1 – the Thursday night opener at home against Green Bay. Expectations were Super Bowl or bust and we were immediately notified that 2019 would be a huge bust. The coffin was already sealed by Week 17, but we…

Sometimes Onion Rings are ideal side
Art Jr.’s is a little dog stand on Armitage and Western. It used to be Sam’s Red Hots. Sam’s shut down and Arturo’s Tacos took over its across-the-street neighbor. The chili dogs are nice and I’ve come to really appreciate their Maxwell Street Polish. So, even though there’s onions on the Polish, the onion rings…

Burger King Sucks at Breakfast
On the way home from Notre Dame, we pulled over at a highway oasis featuring a Starbucks, Auntie Anne’s, Burger King & Sbarro. My cousin Tom and his girlfriend Hannah set their sights on pizza. But it was before noon and I had breakfast on my mind. I’d recently had a pretty solid bacon &…

Mr. Submarine is the People’s Sandwich
Where can you get lunch for less than $7 in 2019? Mr. Sub! It’s been awhile since I last visited any of the Mr. Submarine locations. I used to live off the 2 Mr. Subs for $5.45 deal at the one on Fullerton back in my Lincoln Park days. There’s a classic Mr. Sub…

The Joker is a Dark Wonder
The Joker is directed by the guy who made one of my all time favorite films, Old School. This is another triumph for Todd Phillips. I mean, getting Joaquin Phoenix to act like a disturbed weirdo isn’t exactly trophy worthy in and of itself – but still. Dark and fucked up, that’s how I’d describe…
