Nick, have you tried Johnnie's? I certainly haven't sampled all the Italian beef in Chicago, but Johnnie's is incredibly delicious.

I'm @capndesign.

That, my friend, is amazing. A monstrous kudos to Mr. Solares. I'm gonna go eat it this weekend.

No paté? Pssshhh. I'll still eat it, but pshshhhh.

Dude, I need to try this.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make a hamburger cheese. Something that has the low melting point of American, but with a bit more flavor. That would be a worthy cause.

I don't live in Tucson, but my wife grew up there and I'd also love to see more on SE. There's so much great Mexican food there. My favorite is Micha's. I could eat an echilada style machaca burro every day of my life. Whare are some of your favorite spots, @missvenuz?

Hot damn, I'm pumped. They're right around the corner from me! I can't wait to go check it out.

I missed this when it came thorugh, but here's my 2 cents!

Yemen Cuisine is amazing. There are two other spots on Atlantic that are also good, but this one is my fave. Try the Chicken Gahloub.

Building on Bond only opened a few months ago, but they have relatively cheap sandwiches, a decent burger and great ambiance. They've also got beer on tap and pretty good coffee.

Nicky's is a known commodity, but not everyone remembers it's right there on Atlantic! Great, cheap bahn mi.

Fast and Fresh Deli on Hoyt Street has killer tacos and tortas but nowhere to sit. It's only a block from my place though so grab something to eat and come on over!

Just went by there today and things didn't look very different. Come on pizza, where ya at?!?

I'm with Mr. Kuban. These fries are mediocre on their best days. Spend your calories elsewhere.

Ugh, I wish they wouldn't call these cheeseburger rolls. Ground beef and cheese does not a cheeseburger make.

Snarkiness aside, these sound f'in delicious.

cybele - thanks for all that info. As for Scharfen Berger, I visited their factory in Berkeley about a year ago and the chocolate was as delicious as ever. Of course, this was obviously coming direct from that location. They did say that no recipes or sources have changed, so I bet your suspicion is correct. Either way, I'm not going to stop eating Scharfen Berger — it's damn fine chocolate.
