Whenever we ride our bike up the river trail, we contemplate writing a blog post about where to eat near that semi-obscure but culinarily interesting trail (which runs through Albany Park and ends around Devon). Then we get home exhausted and forget all about it. Fortunately Nick Kindelsperger did not have a similar lack of resolve in compiling a piece on where to acquire picnic goods near several of Chicago’s major parks. Although we think if you can’t figure out without a guide where to eat near Millennium Park, you shouldn’t be allowed out at all, many of the others are more obscure and rewarding, such as a short guide to the food trucks which exist in their own legal-spatial continuum in Humboldt Park, or what a convenience Jackson Park is when visiting some of the take-out only gems of the South Side like Uncle John’s (that’s owner Mack Sevier in our thumbnail pic). Put it to use this weekend. [Serious Eats Chicago]
