Gino's East Pizzeria

Thoughts: I've tried Giordanos and Pizzeria Uno...I'd have to say I'm not a big fan of chicago pizza but I preferred Gino's East over the others.
Hot Doug's
(Was on Food Network)
Picture: Apple Chicken Hot Dog with Cheese stuffed Green Chile
Thoughts: the combos of hot dogs here are just amazing and change weekly!!
Picture: Jalepeno Chedder Hot Dog with Jalapeno Bacon, mayonaise, and pinto beans
Thoughts: DELISHHH!! with a spicy kick!
Picture: Foie Gras hot dog
Thoughts: I was skeptical in trying it at first, but the foie gras (duck liver fat) is more like a spread on the hot dog and is probably the best tasting one there!!
Kuma's Corner

Thoughts: BEST burgers in Chicago-sometimes the wait on weekends can be up to 3 hours.

I don't know if we ordered the wrong things or if we went on a bad day, but everything tasted way TOO SALTY!
MK
Picture: Tuna-peppercorn crusted yellowfin tuna seared rare, spinach, shiitake mushrooms, garlic mashed potato in red wine syrup.

Thoughts: I never thought I'd try veal, but omg...this was sooo juicy and tasty with so much flavor!!! highly recommend it! Expensive, but worth it.
Yolk
(BEST breakfast & brunch)
Picture: Pumpkin French Toast
Thoughts: It's basically breakfast dessert. Filled with a frosting-like cream cheese and topped with cinnamon and sugar coated apples.

Thoughts: They've won awards for the best eggs benedict.
Yolk is my favorite breakfast spot and I continue to come here all the time =]
Molly's Cupcakes
(must try!!)

Thoughts: tasted like chips and presentation was nice, but nothing extraordinary.
What: scallops
Thoughts: very tasty, probably the best thing we tried there.
Picture: Bone Marrow Spread
Thoughts: Had to try it because it comes in the actually bones, but it just tasted like gelatinous oil with no flavor that you put on bread.
