  1. A potluck kind of year

    If only it were so easy to pithily proclaim 2012 as the Year of the (fill-in-the-blank). But there's really no one thread that neatly ties together the Chicago restaurant scene these last 12 months. A restaurant that put Chicago on the culinary map 25 years ago closed its doors. Doughnuts became "a thing." Digging up mushrooms from the forest preserve took on high status.

  3. Beef, stories served thick and juicy

    These are happy times at Schaller's Pump, the Bridgeport tavern a 15-minute walk from U.S. Cellular Field. Indeed, a correlation exists: With the White Sox in a hot pennant race, more fans are compelled to come to games, so more sudsy beverages are poured here.

  4. 3 sisters, 25 years, 1 indelible name

    How do you run a successful business? First you find an accessible, popular product. Doughnuts.
    How do you run a successful business? First you find an accessible, popular product. Doughnuts. A doughnut is a pretty neat thing. It's a convenient cake made for one, minus the celebratory connotation. One can consume this without fork, candle or song....

  5. Hu's the boss

    "They say, 'Tony, you're so crazy.' Yes, I am."
    "They say, 'Tony, you're so crazy.' Yes, I am." You heard it from Tony Hu himself, chieftain of Chinatown. Something's off in his bitter melon. A sane businessman wouldn't open seven restaurants within a half-square-mile area, yet here we are, an...

  6. Mexican eats for under $10

    In keeping with this column's name, I set off on a challenge: Can I walk into a restaurant with a $10 bill and walk out satiated? Turns out the probability of success increases when I focus on Mexican restaurants.

  8. Chicken, waffles: Together like birds of a feather

    When I lived in Los Angeles, I visited Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles twice a month. Despite my fondness for the restaurant, I don't remember what the place looked like. A Google search jogged my memory: It resembled a Denny's, all vinyl booths and polyurethaned wooden tables. It was indistinguishable from any other diner.

  9. A steak deal, just like in olden days

    Seven dollars and 99 cents doesn't stretch like it used to, but it still buys a steak dinner downtown. On the northeast corner of the Thompson Center, beneath "L" tracks that rumble and screech every other minute, Ronny's endures. Trendier steakhouses on Rush Street have become a business account expenditure and once-a-year occasion. Ronny's, meanwhile, may be the one steakhouse in the city that lists prices on its window.

  10. Asking for the 'secret menu'

    <em>When Kevin Pang's story came up in a news meeting about an Arlington Heights Chinese restaurant with a special menu for Asian customers, I emailed Kevin with two questions: How often does that happen? And can a non-Asian still ask for the other menu?</em>

  11. Six dishes that are worth your while

    <b>Rock shrimp fritti</b>
    Rock shrimp fritti Ombra Popcorn shrimp has such a cheap connotation, more apropos of family restaurant appetizer baskets. Ombra in Andersonville, modeled after the small-plate cicchetteria restaurants found in Venice, serves a plate of fried shrimp that...

  12. Poochie's, your classic Chicago-area grill

    Why Poochie's? Of the untold number of Vienna Beef slingers around town, why single out one place in Skokie?
    Why Poochie's? Of the untold number of Vienna Beef slingers around town, why single out one place in Skokie? If you plotted every Chicago-area hot dog/burger/Italian beef quick-serve on a graph, the dots would line up along a bell curve. "Extraordinary"...
