knightni Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So, how about we talk about our favorite/most hated restaurants/foods/recipes/etc? Five Guys One opened up recently by me. I'd heard a lot of good things about their burgers so I went and tried them out. Burger: Bacon Cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, pickle, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions. Pretty solid. A- Fries: Couldn't eat them because of a peanut allergy. They're probably really good though. I wish that they had a non peanut oil version of them. INCOMPLETE GRADE Drink: I liked their drink variety. Had a Vault mixed with HiC Fruit Punch. Kind of like a Code Red a little. I wish that they had shakes, or mixed beverages like Sonic. B+ So, where have you been lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a regular pepperoni. They are the pizza of choice in Iowa. I don't know if they do things differently in Michigan, though. Plus, it's just a pizza, so it's worth a try. Or you could try their breakfast pizza if you like cholesterol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 A week ago went to Hot Doug's on North California in Chicago. I guess the place is pretty damn popular, always lines around the building for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Went to "Whataburger" for the 1st time last week and it was great. Just had a basic bacon cheeseburger with fries, but it was great. Next on my list of places I want to eat is Jack in the Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthsideDon48 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Anyone try Fatburger? Delicious place. Kanye West just opened one in Orland Park on Lagrange road near 153rd. The patties they use on their Kingburger is huge! You can also add extra patties for, I think, about two dollars per pattie. You can also get toppings such as chili and a fried egg on your burger. If anyone ever go to Fatburger, GET a fried egg or two on your burger, it's DELICIOUS!!! Other favorite foods: BBQ chicken pizza: I love this stuff, I just wish I can find more pizza places that makes this stuff. BBQ Swordfish: I tried this at the buffet at the Bellagio in Vegas and I've been craving it ever since. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find some BBQ Swordfish in the city or the south or west suburbs? Stuffing-filled Turkey roll-ups: this is one of my homemade dinner favorites, and here's the recipe: Ingredients: *medium-sliced turkey meat freshly sliced at the deli (thin enough to roll) *stove-top stuffing or any kind of stuffing. *can of turkey gravy. Directions: Cook stove top in a pan until it's cooked. Then get a baking pan, preferably a glass tray. Then get one or 2 slices of turkey (your choice), put stuffing on a neat line on the turkey, then roll the turkey (like rolling a big fat cigar) until the stuffing is enclosed within the turkey. Then, put the rolled up stuffing-filled turkey in the tray and make more. After you're done rolling up all the turkey roll-ups and they're neatly placed in the tray, open the can of gravy and pour it all over, making sure it's nice and moist. Then put it in the stove and bake on 350 for about 10 or 15 minutes or less, just make sure it doesn't get dry, crispy, or burned. Two stuffing-filled turkey rolls usually makes one serving, so make 8 turkey roll-ups for 4 servings, etc, etc. Eat with a fork and knife and serve with mashed potatoes, corn, broccoli, bread rolls, or whatever your family likes. This is a meal that is easy enough for a man who's not a very good chef to make. Edited December 31, 2008 by SouthsideDon48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 After years of waiting, I finally got to try a Sonic! One opened right by my office. Verdict: The drinks are killer. No doubt the lemon berry fresh fruit slush is the thing dreams are made of. The cherry limeade is also incredible. Bacon cheese burger toaster: VERY good. Chili Cheese Tater Tots: sucked eggs. Onion Rings: Good to very good. I haven't dipped into the other foods yet, but those tater things REALLY were crappy. I recommend doing the fries.

Kid Gleason Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 07:09 PM) Their burgers are really mediocre. I thought they were pretty darn good. I mean, we are talking fast food style burger, so the chance of it being truly good are pretty impossible. I don't rate fast food burgers on the same scale as a TRUE burger, ya know? When I am REALLY in need of a burger, I never, ever, not in a million years, think of a fast food joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Sonic is a fantastic fast-food joint. They have a lot of stuff your typical fast food places don't have, like their slushes, limeades, grilled cheese, tater tots, mozzarella sticks, hot dogs, etc. I always get a Sonic Blast, though. It's like a Blizzard from Dairy Queen but better - in both taste and price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 for any of the south suburbs guys, try louisa's pizza in crestwood. It's on 142ndish and cicero. Possibly the best deep dish I've ever had. Pizano's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
