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.…

The Joker is a Dark Wonder
The Joker is directed by the guy who made one of my all time favorite films, Old School. This is another triumph for Todd Phillips. I mean, getting Joaquin Phoenix to act like a disturbed weirdo isn’t exactly trophy worthy in and of itself – but still. Dark and fucked up, that’s how I’d describe…

Self-serve Ketchup – How much is too much?
Stopped at Fry the Coop in Oak Lawn the other night for a quick dinner. Ordered up the chicken & cheese sandwich with mild heat. Shared a picture of my magnificent tray and endured mockery for the amount of ketchup I dispensed. Too much? Plenty of paper coverage so I pumped directly onto the tray…

Portillo’s Beef – NOT Dipped or Wet
Took the UP-West Metra line from Ogilvie Station to La Fox, where my brother-in-law and niece & nephew picked me up. Immediately, we cruised towards the Portillo’s on Randall Rd. for a drive-thru experience. My nephew Justin prefers the ribs at Portillo’s – an aggressive order I can appreciate. Madison, my 13-year-old pescatarian niece, opted…

Came Across Old Photo of Gorgeous Cheese Fries
Isn’t this styrofoam container of cheese fries a sight to behold? The gyros doesn’t look as appetizing, but trust me it was. My gyro handling was sloppy that day after a visit to Dugan’s on Halsted for some beer and popcorn. The popcorn only served to stimulate our appetites – so the…
