Food Bills

Everybody has to eat, and more often than not, we like to eat out. Most of us aren't foodies or culinary experts, We just like good food at a decent price.

This blog is all about eating out in Chicago, generally not at the trendy places, the hoi polloi fancy spots or the big chains.

I'm definitely not a foodie, just a hard working guy that likes good food and I'm going to share my dining experiences with you. Hopefully it will give you the food layperson's view on Chicago spots. To keep your food bills in check.

I will also Include some “food news” about places located in my “hood” up on the Far North Side of Chicago and Evanston.

I do travel a lot as well, so I will also include a little page with some food notes from my travels!

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.

Carbohydrate Guidelines for Type 2 Diabetes - CNN

Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet. But carbs also raise your blood sugar. When you have type 2 diabetes, it’s important to aim for a balanced carb intake. It can seem confusing and a little overwhelming at first, but don’t be discouraged. Your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian can help you find a meal plan that works for you.

NEWS - Harold's Chicken Shack Planned for Howard Street - Rogers Park - DNAinfo.com Chicago

Franchisee Kelly Roberts said she plans to be selling chicken in the now-vacant storefront — on the border of Rogers Park and steps from the Howard "L" station — by the end of February, but would need to get the approval from the Evanston City Council first.
