Blog Reviews: Week Of Charlie Trotter’s 20th Birthday (Next Year, Legal!)

Chicago’s intrepid food bloggers were all over the damn place last week, in alphabetical order by restaurant (many of which are followed by clichéd adjectives!)


• Apparently, Argo Tea, which is sprouting up all over the place, actually has pretty good mixed drinks. Mixed tea drinks, that is, like the chocolate mint [Chicago Foodies]

• New “rustic-industrial” gastropub-esque hangout Bluebird Bistro and Winebar in Wicker Park tasty and understated enough to become a neighborhood hotspot [Chicagoist]

• Hey, wanna go out drinking with your new baby? Family-friendly Goose Island Brew Pub has a notable kids menu and all the eponymous beer you see fit to drink. Food’s gone a bit downhill though, maybe [Chicagoist]

• Nice service and striking decor make Niu Japanese Fusion Lounge a reasonable stop for a River East lunch - provided you don’t order the mango chicken [The Stew]

• Good news freight train a.k.a Shikago races through town, garnering ecstatic praise [Food Chain]
