With Big Jones stepping up its game, and Garden & Gun arriving any day in the mailbox, it seems like Low Country's the new something this year. And we're one hundred percent fine with that. Boils, shrimp and grits, baked oysters, black-eyed peas? Yup. It's enough to make us...
Vincent's Koffeeshop is back, this time with a slightly smaller menu, but with some new shee. Walking chili, deep-fried oreos, poutine? Yup. We'll be all over that. We showed up last month and found a low-lit, nag champa-smelling joint playing real, actual, not-bullshit,...
According to Tasting Table, GT Fish and Oyster is offering half-off oysters after 10PM every night except Saturday. That's a deal if we've ever heard of one. Oysters ain't cheap, so we'll gladly take 'em for less than two bucks. Even if we have to go to River North to get...
If you've been to a bar that stocks more than one kind of bitters in the last three years, you've probably left thinking the same thing I have: What's up with the mustaches? Or maybe more specifically, What's up with the turn-of-the-century gear, bartender-guy? Since when is...
The Trib reports that the Fish Guy is open again. We stopped in a few nights ago and can report that, yes, this is true: Fish Guy's slangin' bay scallops again. The updated joint is a bit sleeker, a bit whiter, and now features a stainless steel bar and bench running the length...
Food and weed, together again! Michael Gebert at Grubstreet posts here about Vincent's foray into weed-friendly events. Now, this is the kind of shee we can get behind. Andersonville's Vincent is morphing into an Amsterdam-style coffee shop Sunday night, the first in a...
If the quality of a restaurant's food is inversely proportional to how crappy it's website is, then the greatest restaurant in the world just opened up. Behold! Tamales Garibay! Now that's a shitty website. Now, we're dubious about tamales. Prepared properly, they can be...
Thinking about starting up a food truck? Don't say Phillip Foss didn't give you fair warning if the thing falls apart Black Star's comeback album. Quoth Foss: "Years back while living the single life on Maui I developed a little gambling problem. I would almost recommend this or...
Next launched its first E-Cookbook yesterday based on the restaurant's opening menu, Paris 1906. They intend to do this every three months, whenever they release a new menu. Sounds like something Gluttons could get into if the app wasn't exclusively sold for Apple products....
Eater Chicago gets a preview of Tony Montuano's new Bar Toma, located in the old Bistro 110 space across from the Water Tower. Their pics don't convey a ton (unless you love plywood and unpainted drywall) but one can see there will be a lot going on here: gelato station,...
If this is all we got, it's definitely a slow news day....
