HI.. I really enjoyed your website/blog and was wondering if you are a group of people who go out to restaurants regularly. If so, I would be interested in joing your group. Please contact me!

thanks,

Monica

Thought you might get a kick out of this girl on Yelp blatantly copying your style in her Coalfire review. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Blatant plug for my site (http://bacondujour.blogspot.com) in addition to expressions of love for yours. Your site’s a refreshingly asskicking, foodloving, gloriously written group of articles–makes most other Chi-town food critics look as dry as the Sahara in comparison.

Oh, and also, you should know about BaconFest Chicago, coming Oct. 25 to the Stan Mansion in Logan Square.

I’ve so fallen in love with you guys. And congrats on the NewCity cover. It rocks.

But…

When you review a place could you include an address? Sure I could type in “Blah-Blah-Blah Restaurant” and “Chicago” into Google, but I’m an intrinsically lazy bastard.

Thanks! And keep up the good works!

Em’s been writing like that for a while. I know, b/c I introduced her to CG only a couple of weeks ago…

Mad Jack Deacon (love the name, dood!), ask and Gluttons shall givith.

I love Roli’s Mexican Restaurant on 5004 N. Sheridan, Argyle and Sheridan. I eat there all the time. The atmosphere is cultural and cozy. The service is fast and everyone is exceptionally nice and knowledgeable. The prices are also reasonable. They even serve breakfast food. Not to mention it’s at a convenient location, right off the Argyle Red line stop, perfect for CTA travelers or students. They deliver too!! (773)728-6200

Where the hell is the next review? 21 days is far too fuckin long to have to wait to read another review by CG. Hell, I live in Florida and discovered your site a little over 3 weeks ago and have read every review posted. Some of it is funny as hell, I even turned my brother (who lives in Texas) on to it. I’m a foodie like the CG’s so the food writing mixed with a fresh non-pretentious approach make it a very interesting read. One day I’ll get my happy ass to Chicago and dine on some of this. Keep up the gluttonous life.

dnote-

we are experiencing a state of flux. hole tight joe.

Hey man,
Love the site!!! You put me on to Glenn’s Diner All You Can Eat Crab and I have been forever indebted to you. I guess I lack concern for your health but you need a few more reviews more often – I am running out of places to eat. Let me join the squad and spread this fat ass news. I know you don’t go ape shit over burgers but Hackney’s is an experience that you need to tell some folks about.

Get at Me,

Hey Im into food blogs and just discovered yours, funny as! entertainment with all the food porn love it!
Im from Aussie land so unfortunately I cannot go to any of these places you blog about but its still a great read and a nice visual feast of foods.

cheers

Ranee-

Glad you like the diggs. When we are in Australia, you can take us round.

Nice work guys- keep up the good reviews.

Howdy Gluttons,
You have any recommendations for good, or even mediocre, egg rolls in Chicago? I haven’t scoured the city, by any means, and I know egg rolls aren’t culinarily cool or anything but tasty ones seem hard to find.
Thanks,
DMFdubs

funny funny shit. keep it up. I would want to put your posts on my site but I think some of my family members might be offended. Oh well, I’ll just check back often.

The best eggrolls that I’ve had are:

Pekin House – Tastes like a Nutrageous bar butt fucked jackie chan.

Orange Garden – Delicious and the size of a baby’s arm.

Kow Kow in Lincolnwood has bomb egg rolls. It ain’t city proper, but it’s close and worth the trip. Get some.

Dear Gluttons.

I had the misfortune of visiting the Urbanspoon leaderboard this morning to see that we had been unceremoniously knocked from 3rd place into the medal-less dung heap of 4th place. I also have several unconfirmed headset reports that we were teabagged while we were down. Of course this inspired a rage inside me with the intensity of 1000 blue suns, however, after visiting your blog it has simmered. For if Johnny can hand a trophy to Daniel after a crane-kick to the face, perhaps I too can acknowledge a worthy opponent.

P.S. I hate you. I’m going to eat your children.
