A Chicago legend for decades, this suburban hot doggery shines when it comes to the basic Chicago fare of dogs, burgers, sausages, crinkle cut fries, shakes and the like. Cash only, order from the counterman (who’s extremely patient, even with newbies) and wait for your delish food to be cooked to order. There are a… Continue reading Paradise Pup Review, Des Plaines, IL
Harolds Chicken Shack Review – Chicago
Harold’s Chicken Shack is a Chicago legend. Iconic to all who live on the South Side of the city, after 5 decades, Harold’s has spread to the burbs and even a couple of out of state locations. On the menu? (Below) Fried chicken, wings, shrimp, catfish and assorted sides. I went with a combo plate,… Continue reading Harolds Chicken Shack Review – Chicago
Bosco Sticks Review
I have to admit it, I’d never heard of Bosco Sticks until I saw a recent poll proclaiming they were the favorite hot lunch food of school children these days, surpassing even the terrible pizza found in school lunchrooms. Now owned by Tyson, Bosco sticks were created by a Michigan pizzeria, spread to local schools,… Continue reading Bosco Sticks Review
Bob Evans Hot Sausage Review
I rarely purchase pre-made breakfast sausage; it’s expensive and the available flavors are not always to my liking. Usually I just buy ground pork, which is always very cheap, and season it to my liking. But this week I grabbed a one pound chub of Bob Evans “Hot.” Bob Evans starting making sausage on his… Continue reading Bob Evans Hot Sausage Review

Corky’s BBQ Frozen Pork Meal Review
While there are a multitude of styles of “BBQ” in the US, it’s generally thought that the top three are Texas, Memphis, and Carolina. As a result, many BBQ restaurant chains have been spawned in those areas, including the mini-chain of Corky’s, born in Memphis, five minutes from Elvis’s house. Corky’s opened the doors in… Continue reading Corky’s BBQ Frozen Pork Meal Review
Lake Geneva Country Meats Review, Lake Geneva Wisconsin
I have been known to take road trips in search of small producers of processed pork products, especially hams. Jumping off the interstates, traveling back roads, stopping in diners to inquire about local products. Never disappointed. The other day, I had been to a “pick your own” tomato farm, had a bushel of the beautiful red fruit, stopped at… Continue reading Lake Geneva Country Meats Review, Lake Geneva Wisconsin
Rosie OHares Review East Dundee, IL
Brittany (n.) a region in France; a region in England; one of the best restaurant servers in Chicagoland. Yes, I’m going with the third meaning here. A friend and I rolled into Rosie O’Hare’s, an Irish themed eating and drinking establishment overlooking the Fox River in East Dundee, IL.
