Chicago’s intrepid food bloggers were all over the damn place last week, in alphabetical order by restaurant
• According to Bridget & Tammy, Cafe Bernard is starting to lose some of its French mojo. Only a 10/20 for the old man [Chicago Bites]
• Guess what’s still the same, basically, after its makeover: the Cape Cod Room, so you can all exhale and eat your thermidor [The Stew]
• Everyone likes Glenn’s Diner, really a quality seafood restaurant with all the diner accoutrements thrown on for variety [Drive-Thru]
• Every time we read a review for Magnolia Cafe, it’s favorable. Glowing, actually [Chicago Metblogs]
• Classic to the point of kitschy, RL does a decent job at fancy mid-century American food, albeit at inflated prices [Chicagoist]
• Tourist spot Rockit Bar & Grill does not quite do it for Bridget & Tammy, who give it a low 11/20 [Chicago Bites]
• Explore the functional boundaries of sandwichdom with the Stages’ open face hot turkey mess, a cheap lunch in Bridgeport [Chicagoist]
• Sharing a name with the important Japanese film, Tampopo dishes up a merely adequate bowl of ramen [Drive-Thru]
• Early word on American churrascaria ZED451: all the food is good but never great, and where they really shine is the drinks (not a good sign for foodies, but surely profitable) [Gastronomic Bypass]
