But here are my favorites:
Little Home Vietnam: Damen/Ashland. Right under the Damen stop on the Brown line. The BEEF SPRING ROLLS are ORGASMIC. TRULY. They're the clear rice paper with chargrilled beef with peanuts, lettuce, carrots, greens, sprouts, and dip it in this LOVELY chilli oil. Its trulky unbelievable. Though the rest of the menu is sort of blah, except the lemongrass chicken is deliciously spicy.
Mirai Sushi: pretty good sushi, for chicago... i mean since its so far from any ocean.
Lou Malnatis Pizza: just get plain cheese. the meat layer is a bit too much.
Aruns: This 12 course Thai meal on the northside.. Really expensive, but oh so delicious.
Frontera Grill, Bistro 110, Yoshi's Cafe are pretty good. Kamahachi is awful.

hstencil, I think I'm usu closer to saying 'hunnerd'. In generally, nobody in my vicinity talks stereotypically Chicagoan (you know, 'hey dere, how youse doin')

I don't know where any suburbs are except: the ones along the lake to the north (and then I start getting confused after Highland Park), Oak Park, and, er, Skokie.
My general feeling about the rest of the suburbs is that they don't need to exist.

Amateurist, you do want to to bomb LA though, right? Nothing but suburbs

It was the "Daaaaalston" of early January 2003. "I blame hstencil" is what's happening now. Tight.

That's where I grew up!
Nice Roger Claar reference. (You know the story about how he defended his DUI? Said he wasn't drunk -- he only swerved because he was removing a necklace of Mardi Gras beads. Umm, sure.)

Oh man. I'm trying so hard to remember who you are, Oops. I feel like it should be obvious. Don't tell me just yet.
Also, I don't really care if you use my "real name" -- but I do like Jaymc better.
