McCormick and Schmick

Wacker Drive Location

It wasn't busy and there was a ton of waitstaff all grouped up in the middle of the place.  The problem is that you couldn't get their attention and they seemingly avoided eye contact on purpose. 

Took two tries to get water and had to literally jump up and wave to flag someone down for a drink. 

The food was fast and good but the overall service with such a huge staff and almost no customers was poor.

 

Not a place I would take a client or a date.  Happy Hour prices were cheap....but it wasn't worth it

Yah Mon! Sunrise Caribbean American

Good Caribbean Food!

Sunshine Caribbean American is a new place opened in my area that serves up some seriously good Caribbean grub.  Not a fancy place, more of a take out place with a few tables, but there was a home feel to it.  A young man was playing guitar and the young lady at the counter was very nice.  The food....yah mon....was quite good!.  Ox tails with rice n beans, boiled plantains and a salad.  A huge portion for 13 dollars.  The meat fell off the bone and there was a lot of meat.    Not a place to go for a date, but a quiet night at home.... A+.

Best Dog in Chicago!  

The best hot dog in America is right here in Chicago.

And if you thought it was the soon-to-be-closing Hot Doug’s, you would be wrong.

Heartland Cafe - Rogers Park

Breakfast Time

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast at the Heartland cafe!

I had the oatmeal, great! My friend has the soy scramble, it was actually really good, I would eat it and i'm not a vegetarian.  

You cant go wrong here, the only problem ... PARKING !  Finding a spot was the adventure.  

If you live in the area or can take the CTA, do it, it is very worth it!

Ward Eight - Evanston

Great Neighborhood Place

A little local place I hit up at least every other week or so.  

It is an oasis in an area I would not necessarily go to, the Howard Street Business District.  The area has cleaned up a bit, parking is easy and Ward Eight, plus the New BBQ place next door have really picked the area up!

The drink menu is awesome, but their food, small plates and sandwiches are really good.  The photo is for the Brussel Sprouts and a Single Malt Scotch.  The Sprouts are to die for!  

A great price all around and the staff is awesome!  the place gets SUPER busy on weekends, so be prepared to stand.  Come early and claim a spot.
