Chicago’s intrepid food bloggers were all over the damn place last week, in alphabetical order by restaurant
• The AYCE concept at Al Primo Canto, an Italo-Brazilian in NW Chicago, is working wonders. The meat is tasty as expected, but the starches astound. Look for an a la carte menu and brunch in the near future [Food Chain]
• Appetizers are so good at Anteprima that it can be hard to get to the entrees! But don’t feel obliged to save room for dessert [Chicagoist]
• New River North gastropub English does a mean fish and chips for lunch, and has an intriguing drink menu in space where the decor is…confusing [The Stew]
• At Piccolo, a vegan panino can be constructed if you ask nicely - don’t know about the gelato, though [Drive-Thru]
• Rightfully considered one of the best-of-breed in Chicago, Pop’s Italian Beef delivers a fantastic sandwich and McD-esque fries, in a good way. All that and it doesn’t even feel unhealthy! [Chicago Burger Project]
• Newish vegetarian Indian place on Devon, Uru-Swati, may not serve dosas, but is generally delicious [Chicago Foodies]
