Yes, one of our forks came with a hardened booger amuse-bouche. And, yes, the shaker of unidentified seasoning on the table was crustier than a fresh scab. It's also true that the iceless water in the dingy plastic pitcher looked about as palatable as a Pamela Anderson urine...

What's up, bitches? Roy here with a little lunch time tip for you North Side fiends to sit on. I know it's almost required to defend Chicago-style deep dish against the likes of New York thin, but lets be honest, it's just not feasible most of the time. If you're at work and you...

From the Board of Trade to the Western Blue Line, Ravenswood down to River North...Matt Maroni's 'curbside solution for your hunger' is hotter than Silly Bandz and Kanye's bitch ass twitter feed (you didn't actually think we would drive traffic there, did you?). So much naan...

Hello Glutton's readers, naw we aint dead we've been trapped in the walk in freezer at the Long John Silver's in Schaumburg. Television was right, it IS a great way to work out petty differences. I also learned that frozen hush puppies taste nearly the same.
Anyhoo, I got...

Gilt Bar is real talk, peoples. Realer than a 3rd mortgage. Realer than a drunk krew of community organizers. Realer than ole boy who hacked into Baracks and B. Spears Twitter accounts. Realer than the HIV+, son.
Have you all seen this menu? How are we not fucking...

Palmer House? The fuck? No, this post aint about the Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Society for Text & Discourse or that time your boss told you she'd pick up a couple AWDs (after work dranks) at the Lobby Bar, then cut out early, leaving you with a healthy tab. Nah,...

It's December in Chicago, which means temperatures are dipping lower than Patrick Swayze's white blood cell count. Time to get out your soups spoons, gluttons. Roy already pushed matzo ball. I'm gonna talk tom yum koong. Specifically, the tom yum at Opart Thai on Western, where...

Holy shit it's getting cold outside. It's weather like this that makes you wonder who had the nards to settle in Chicago in the first place. I mean before gas furnaces, snuggies, and dog snuggies, how was this survivable?
Step one would probably be cutting your way into a...

When I moved here, I stayed with my Aunt Lucinda who has a spot in La Grange Park. On Sunday afternoons, after 6 hours of sweaty Baptist church service, we'd hop on the 20 north bound, up in the Cut, with a propensity for consumption (Aunt Lucinda puts food DOWN, yall) headed...

Don't go because of all the hype. Don't go beacuse their food program focuses on craft beer and pork. Don't go hoping to give Paul Kahn a B.J. in the walk-in.
