Those quotes (bolded as in the original) came from dyed-in-the-wool LTHers, who, in aggregate, we tend to trust.
We’ve been reading about how wonderful Ed’s Potsticker House in Bridgeport is on LTHForum since forever, but until recently, our attempts to locate their menu had been met with bitter failure. Then suddenly, the other day, without provocation or warning, the Potsticker House menu appeared in our inbox, and shortly thereafter, on the internet for everyone to see (well, as of a few minutes ago, anyway).
In lieu of hard-hitting journalism, here’s the text from Potsticker House’s (we’re dropping the Ed for the remainder of this post, since it’s nowhere to be seen on the menu they faxed us, but it’s staying in the listing for easier search) Great Neighborhood Restaurant award that it won in 2005:
Inspiring to know what can be done with Chinese food with good ingredients, some creativity, and a lot of care by an obviously knowledgeable kitchen…Probably 95% of the food we have had at Ed’s has been outstanding: the eponymous potstickers, soup dumplings, pork and scallion cakes, lamb with cumin, potatoes with vinegar, eggplant, various other vegetable dishes, beef stew with noodle…The dumpling was good. The broth was ambrosial. When something that clear as so much depth of flavor, you know there’s a real cook somewhere who put a lot of time into it.

It’s funny - LTH has pimped the hell out of this place, and sure enough, Potsticker House proudly posts its GNR status on the cover of the menu, along with choice quotes from TOC, the Tribune, the Reader, and Chicago Magazine. But instead of crediting LTHForum, the attribution is to “The Chicago-base culinary chat site.” So close! Maybe all those black and brown diamonds in the logo confused them, via a similar mechanism to zebras on the Serengeti. But it’s the thought that counts.
