last time I was in Chicago, I asked a longtime cabbie/owner of the company/lifelong Chicagoan/oustanding spreader of goodwill to poor hapless tourists where to go to lunch fer some local cuisine, his reply was
‘What YOU need is a JEW-TOWN POLISH SAUSAGE!
btw, I miss Leo’s.

I love Chicago. It was on the short list of “Places We Could Make a Go of It In”. But I definitely prefer the less authentic but tastier version of Mexican food served in Houston.

I thought Bore-ito was clever. Oh well…

Is that a slam against Chicago Mexican food or Chicago the city? Don’t get it.

Yep. I did a little tweaking. Each indent is now set at 30 pixels. Replies will go four deep now. And that should be enough.

Any luck with the comment tweaking? The current layout is not obvious at all. I think just indenting a reply underneath the thing you’re replying to is best, even if the replies get squished into ever smaller boxes.

i’m down with the chicanos in chi-town. 1st night in, we stopped at a random taqueria on the southside (the only one open at 1 am). they had these cute little slider-esque open-face gorditas that absolutely smoked. in chicago, its all about the meat flavor. it tasted like a grill that had never been washed and had been scraped and re-greased with lard every morning for many years. i dont think i even want to know how they got that gordita meat to taste so good.

i’ll be back in november for work! holla!

I prefer to think of Raja’s as the White Castle of Indian food if you don’t mind. It’s definitely not bland.
