Irish Beat Badgers at Soldier Field
Saturday was a gorgeous day to attend a football game at Soldier Field. Low 70s with sun and a nice breeze. Uncle Chris hooked us up with 4 tickets to the Wisconsin/Notre Dame Shamrock Series contest. It was an 11am start. I got on the Blue Line from Bucktown just after 9am. One stop later,…

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…

Lunch at Michael Jordan’s Restaurant
I had a meeting in Oakbrook and the building happened to be right next to Michael Jordan’s Restaurant on 22nd Street. I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening a few years back & hang in the vicinity of His Airness. It was after lunchtime, but I hadn’t eaten – so I stopped into…

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 –…

The Jordan Store on State Street & Block 37’s Latinicity
Last Christmas I gave my nephew/godson his first pair of Air Jordans. I picked out a red starter pair at Foot Locker, unsure of whether or not sneakers would be Justin’s thing. Didn’t get a good read on his reaction when he opened the box, but word got back to me that Justin valued the…

Burger King Sucks at Breakfast
On the way home from Notre Dame, we pulled over at a highway oasis featuring a Starbucks, Auntie Anne’s, Burger King & Sbarro. My cousin Tom and his girlfriend Hannah set their sights on pizza. But it was before noon and I had breakfast on my mind. I’d recently had a pretty solid bacon &…

Mr. Submarine is the People’s Sandwich
Where can you get lunch for less than $7 in 2019? Mr. Sub! It’s been awhile since I last visited any of the Mr. Submarine locations. I used to live off the 2 Mr. Subs for $5.45 deal at the one on Fullerton back in my Lincoln Park days. There’s a classic Mr. Sub…

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…
