Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse
Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse is a Chicago icon. Here’s our review.
Big City Chicken
Big City Chicken, a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant on Chicago’s Navy Pier, serves up fried chicken worth fighting through crowds to get to. (Just to clarify, for my Polish relatives in Detroit, that’s Big-City Chicken, not Big City-Chicken. I know … sigh.)
Union Tap & Grill
Bleu cheese wedge salad, out-of-the-ordinary buffalo wings, and apricot cheesecake at the Union Tap & Grill in downtown Traverse City
Chicago Restaurant Week
During Restaurant Week, Chicago eateries such as the elegant Blackbird, the storied Paramount Room, the everyman’s Public House, and the spicy Salpicon present special, prix fixe lunch and dinner menus, featuring everything from duck confit to fish tacos, from mussels to steak tartare.
Georgina’s and a Food Truck Court
Traverse City has a food truck court called The Little Fleet, but it also has some interesting restaurants, like Georgina’s. I’m glad there’s no interstate that takes you to Traverse. It ensures that Traverse is a destination, rather than someplace you just stumble into – and it deserves to be a destination.
Butcher & The Burger
Butcher & The Burger is a BYOB in Lincoln Park, Chicago. It’s a build-your-own-burger restaurant, specializing in local, sustainable, made-in-house ingredients.
