I don’t know why we don’t have a ready list of tried-and-true favorite restaurants to go to in Chicago – we certainly go there often enough and have been to many places, some several times. Still I always seem to have trouble deciding where to go next, maybe because Chicago has so many options and they keep growing and my family members have various preferences and opinions about where to eat.
That said, here are some ideas I’ve read about recently in Chicago Magazine – in Evanston and in Chicago:
– Fraiche, 815 Noyes ST. Evanston – for brunch: ginger scone, french toast egg dishes, lemon kiss cookie.
– For Vietnamese banh mi sandwich (baguette with pork, veggies, mayo etc.) – Saigon Sisters, 547 W. Lake St. or French Market, 131 N.Clinton in the Loop.(Description of their food sounds best – although most expensive.)
Del Seol (for bulgogi – korean rib-eye sandwich) – 2568 N. Clark St.
Bar Le, 5014. N. Broadway – veggie avocado sandwich.
Bun Mi Express, 3409 N. Broadway (although wary of the description of sliced pork roll as “b0logna-like”)
