Eating out in Chicago!
Do a search on Serious Eats for the recent post on Hot Dougs - sounds amazing, wish I could go! I've never been there myself.
Okay I found the link:

Definitely go to Hot Doug's on Friday for their french fries - fried in duck fat on Fridays!
Blackbird for a dinner.
Alinea for a 24 course one of a kind meal.

Best Deli: Manny's Coffee Shop on South Jefferson St. near Roosevelt Rd. Pastrami and corned beef sandwiches a foot high and great homemade brisket, short ribs, chopped liver, potato pancakes, etc. Lots of "movers and shakers" chowing down in this throwback to the 50's.

coolname, do you mean the Maxwell St. stand on the corner of Damen and Elston? That's been very recently taken down.
For Lula, you can go to Farm Dinner on Mondays and get an entirely local menu.
I also recommend Terragusto. They make their pasta daily and their menu features Northern Italian dishes with local market ingredients. Despite being a pretty nice restaurant, it's BYOB only, so don't forget to bring some wine.

Best Dog: Hot Dougs
Best Polish: Is Maxwell St. still there?
Best Deep Dish: This will incite some controversy. My vote is Geno's east. I like the cornmeal crust.
Best Burger: Hard to say but Bar Louie has $1 burgers on Tuesday and they are pretty damn good.
Best BBQ: Ribs n' Bibs
Best Sandwich: Italian Beef at Al's #1 on Taylor St.
For my other best of's see my post above.

ewww, i wouldn't go to the med, unless you're getting bread or pastries from the bakery. the florian is only a step above, and that's not saying much. salonica's okay, but i'd save your money for other spots, if i were you. (if you must eat in hyde park, go to seoul corea, really.)

Lula Cafe is hand down my favorite restaurant in Chicago. There are two menus to choose from: their regular (and very reasonably priced) menu, with a lovely beet bruschetta and chickpea couscous; and their weekly (slightly more expensive) menu full of local produce and innovative food. Their brunch is fantastic too. I can't recommend it highly enough.
