Keeping up with the food game these days can wear a mu'fucker out. I've been meaning to step down to Archer Heights for birria since last summer, I can't stop hoping that the katsu don at Sunshine Cafe is the gooey comfort food we hunted down in Tokyo, and, even though it's like...
The first time Gluttons ate Peruvian food, we stumbled into it after hoofing it around the empty streets of some Madrid neighborhood one Sunday morning a few years ago. We were up grandma early cuz of the time change and hungry as goldfish cuz on US of A time it was lunchbox...
It’s been a love fest at Gluttons lately. Not a single pan this summer. We’ve got more thumbs-up on this site than an orgy at Tom Cruise’s house. More propers than a finishing school. More shine than a speakeasy. And the love doesn’t stop with this post. Not when we...
Mixteco Grill needs a new sign. I mean, look at that thing. You wanna eat at this place? I didn't. Looks like another little Mexican joint in a spot that, historically, has rotated shitty restaurants like gyro meat. Don’t get me wrong—I love a good taco...
Gluttons hit The Bluebird the other night to see if it's possible to eat good food after 10 PM in the U. S. of A. And, guess what? Eff you, Spain: we can kill some late-night pork too. This joint serves food until like 1 AM, and everything we had was at least above average....
There are obviously dollar bills to be made off of breakfast in 2007. Every time I open the Reader it seems like someone’s opening a new fancypants joint that specializes in egg dishes or French toast. This is a fortunate arrangement for gluttons like us, as we are typically...
I'm a Chicagoan, but I didn't grow up here. Where I grew up it was completely acceptable to boil hotdogs and serve them with mustard and ketchup on white bread buns. That's a depressing-ass hotdog. You pull some shit like that in Chicago and you're liable to lose a few toes....
So, I love the idea of Flourish, the bakery/cafe on Bryn Mawr just east of Broadway. It's an easily walkable joint that sells sandwiches, coffee, and bread, three things I absolutely love. They also sell pastries (essentially what they are known for, but my sweet tooth is...
Remember in the '90s when independent coffee shops were everywhere? And they all had mismatching furniture and wierd ashtrays and a big stack of board games? And people used words like "funky"? And then Starbucks came along and most of them disappeared? (At least that's what I...
So, today, for the fourth time in the last two weeks, I ate a pastrami sandwich from JB's Deli in Andersonville. This is a delicious sandwich: dark rye bread piled high with warm Vienna Beef pastrami and a bit of brown mustard. There's no reason to ever eat Subway when...
