• What You Been Grilling?

  

  Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of grilling season.  Plenty of folks have been searing all spring as social distancing keeps most of us in our own backyard or out on the balcony. The rain can’t stop us, either:   Weber grillmaster Kevin Kolman applauded my efforts, which inspired me to spark up my […]

• Big Beef Runners

  

  A big beef from Portillo’s recently found its way into my home.  I Grubhubbed the BBS (big, beautiful sandwich) with hot and an order of large fries.  Since I was ordering, I added a second meal for the next day – two chili dogs.  Doubling up my orders has become standard practice during the coronavirus […]

• Two Burger Weekend

  

  If the weekend starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday night, then I can say I got down on two pub burgers over the weekend. After a workout and a sauna on Thursday night, I met my sister Meg and our softball teammate Zotti at Floyd’s on Armitage.  I was ravenous after burning some calories. […]

• SkiFest: Devil’s Head in Merrimac

  

  My brother-in-law started a tradition many years back called SkiFest.  After a hiatus, we brought it back this year to celebrate Stephen’s birthday.  Basically, it’s a weekend-long party with some skiing involved.   Skifest is based at Devil’s Head Resort in Merrimac, Wisconsin, where Stephen & his friends (the numbers eventually swelled as both my sisters’ […]

• Crab Rangoon from Thai Lagoon

  Mmm! Special lunch delivery from a special admirer…Pad Thai from Wicker’s Park Thai Lagoon. I’m a known fan of Pad Thai – and the Lagoon makes a flavorful chicken noodle dish.  It’s the side dish that diverted my attention, however.  If I’m ordering Asian food of any variety and opt for an appetizer – 9 […]

• Where’s the Meatball Sandwich?

  

  An endearing memory of my paternal grandmother involves a meatball sandwich.  Nana was visiting from New Jersey and we went out to dinner at Antonino’s along the train tracks in LaGrange.  Apparently, our order took too long to come out for Nana’s liking.  Yet, she was only concerned with one portion of the order – […]

• Wojos Forgot the Sport Peppers

  

  Bears season was depressing from start to finish.  The worst feeling of the year was Week 1 – the Thursday night opener at home against Green Bay.  Expectations were Super Bowl or bust and we were immediately notified that 2019 would be a huge bust.  The coffin was already sealed by Week 17, but we […]

• Sometimes Onion Rings are ideal side

  

  Art Jr.’s is a little dog stand on Armitage and Western. It used to be Sam’s Red Hots.  Sam’s shut down and Arturo’s Tacos took over its across-the-street neighbor.  The chili dogs are nice and I’ve come to really appreciate their Maxwell Street Polish.  So, even though there’s onions on the Polish, the onion rings […]
