Another visit to Shaw’s Crab House in Chicago which was packed on a Friday evening, for good reason. It was lobster fest month and most of our party had one pound lobster dinners. Delicious. Gumbo and wedge salad also popular. Not to mention the key lime pie and peppermint ice cream with hot fudge.
Yesterday after picking my son up at Northwestern, we drove through Skokie (en route to Oak Park to store some of my son’s college stuff at my sister’s house.) We had an excellent corned beef sandwich at Kaufmann Deli and bought chopped liver (the chicken, not beef) that got high marks from my picky family during a gathering later that eve in Oak Park. We also picked up some very good bagels and bialeys at a bagel shop (not Kaufman’s) also on Dempster in Skokie. It had the no-nonsense lack-of-ambiance of the bagel shops I remember growing up in suburban Detroit (Dexter Davidsons!) and bagels worthy of the locale.
