what did you have for supper today?

[claypoolfan]

Had a rough night so I had to go in on some Xoco today. I don't know how I'm going to make it until 11 when my order is ready...

It's national fried chicken day so I'm going to use that as an excuse to finally try Ms T's Southern Fried Chicken tonight.

This was just ok and I don't think I would get it again. Harolds and The Roost are much better

After my son and I spent a miserably hot day at what passes for an amusement park in Denver, we went to Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs and had reindeer hot dogs. They were so good. Easily the best part of the day.

Making homemade pasta sauce is so much fun, easy, and better than anything I've ever bought at a store.

^^^True story.

I made bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on Saturday; those turned out decent, not amazing.

Also made a coconut cream pie for dessert yesterday since we had a dinner guest. This recipe included shredded coconut in the Nilla Wafer crust and the custard filling. And, of course, toasted coconut as a garnish over the whipped cream topping. Quite excellent.

[Deleted]

that chicken looked yummy.



i got some oxtail from the farmers market in WP and braised it in spices and onion/fennel/carrot in the oven. plus some garlic cheesy mashed potatoes to boot. made enough for 2 and seemed to please both parties so yay

I keep reading about banh mi places opening up in Denver, and now I want one for lunch. None of these spots are near me, though.

[doso]

Made my third pressed-in crust pie in as many weeks last night. Key Lime for dessert tonight.

I'm am eating a sushi burrito r n, and it is as delicious as it is hard to eat.

Happy to report that I successfully dodged the 'trying the fermented horse milk' bullet while in Mongolia

Now I just hope that I won't eat mutton again for the rest of my life (didn't like that meat or even lamp prior to that trip, but now that I had to eat some daily, I dislike it even more fiercely)

all the chicago kuma's will be serving a Scorched Tundra burger this month to celebrate the festival at the empty bottle in September

pork belly, chicharrones, stout bbq sauce, roasted jalapones, habanero mayo

and pipeworks will be brewing a special Scorched Tundra IPA on tap for all locations

[sick2b]

I came to the conclusion that what I most like in nice restaurants are the appetizers and the desserts, so Im starting to skip the main course to have more of these instead.

Same price (if not cheaper) and a greater range of yummy bites in the end

[claypoolfan]

Just got roped into dinner at Giant tonight, anyone been? Any must orders?

I can't believe I got talked into this after what I just spent at Lolla, hopefully it's worth it.

A new Japanese place called Raisu is having their soft opening on Irving Park and Sacramento. It's super good and you get 15% off this week so I recommend it to anyone in the area.

forgot to mention we did duseks on saturday before kaleo. it was national oyster day after all.

6 different kinds of oysters each, seasoned mussels, goat cheese raviolo, vension tartare, and a whole plate of duck breast, confit duck leg, duck sausage, gooseberries, potatoes, and foie gras.



to die for.

[dij22]

Sounds amazing. I still somehow haven't had a real meal at Dusek's despite being in Pilsen every day for years. Only beer and charcuterie.

[teekoh]

We've done brunch several times, but not dinner. It's excellent.

[zircona1]

A few weekends ago I made Chicken Marsala for the first time. Ate the last of it today. Turned out excellent, though maybe next time I'll up the sauce quantity because I had it with linguine.

I also discovered that I don't like Marsala wine on its own.

[nanafish]

the fed'l court bought us lunch today (cold cuts, sandwiches) at a 5 hr seminar, because they need more pro bono attys to work on prison litigation.

[Deleted]

jesus. that scorched tundra burger (chicharrones, roasted jalapeno, pork belly, stout bbq sauce, habanero mayo) at all kumas this month is phenomenal.
also if you got the burger, all scorched tundra beers (pipeworks ipa) are $5 all night.

so we got fucking toasty and full for very reasonable prices.


also got free shwag and met the fest organizer and talked about booking metal festivals. very cool dude. very lovely night.

I'm surprised you've never met Alexi before but I guess you never really hung out at Local Option that much... There were times when I would see that guy more than a lot of my close friends haha.

[Deleted]

yeah i've only been to local option once so far, don't ask me how.


i'm sure that'll change soon enough

[claypoolfan]

Renderings of the new restaurant at Schuba's.

That's a far cry from Harmony Grill. Good for them.

[teekoh]

...woah.

[andrewvb]

damn

[Deleted]

sweet mamajama.

i dont even go to schuba's very often but i'd be looking for excuses to go after that opens

[rango420]

that looks stupid.

Schubas is one of the few venues that actually has a nice low key non stupidly trendy or cookie cutter vibe to it RIP

[teekoh]

lol it's not affecting the venue part.

[rango420]

man ever since Justin's closed down Schubas was basically the only place that isn't/wasn't constantly swamped with yuppies/the worst of the big ten fraternity alumni row in the Southport area on a week night (Toons is cool but the clientele is 100% yuppies)

a wine bar and a stupid ass faux-longman and eagle menu is just gonna make the whole bar shite

[teekoh]

THE SCHUBAS BAR WILL STILL BE THERE

And if I had to put money on it, probably won't change.
