I haven't explored much of the South Side of Chicago, but luckily for me my dining companion knows it like the back of her hand. We ended up here on a very busy Friday night and because she had some "in or pull" we got a table in short order. I am not a pizza snob let me say that right off the bat! I enjoy NY style, thick, deep dish, thin, hot or cold, fresh, leftovers, hell I've even purchased a frozen one a time or two but this pizza was delicious! All veggie toppings were fresh and the meat was not the least bit greasy. I was introduced to many of the waitstaff, other diners, and I think even one of the owners if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere almost as much as I enjoyed the food!

Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed..

Glad you're back, we missed you.

May I suggest both Mortar & Pestle 3108 N Broadway and The Delta 1745 W North Ave

I had amazing french toast with warmed syrup at Mortar & Pestle!

Waffles and chicken is a combination I've always wanted to try so I did at The Delta. The Waffle was crisp and the chicken was fried to perfection and not the least bit greasy.

Sidebar: Neither take reservations, and Brunch seems to be a favorite past-time in Chicago at least on the weekends so go early! Again I was lucky, my dining companion had some pull at both so we got a table in record time.......

Mindy's Hot Chocolate 1747 N Damen Ave Chicago

All I can say about this place is ..Y U M

They have way more than the name suggests tho so if you're looking for food, drink, pastries, deserts, and some great hot chocolate check this joint out! The homemade marshmallows are not to be missed, I could of easily made a meal out of them alone.

Sidebar: They sell & ship as well. I don't know if this happens to others but sometimes in real life, something posted from online pops into my mind!
For some reason this place reminded me of Kittygrrl's posts this winter! If I'd of had her and her loved one address, I just may of sent them a little something!

Copper Fox Gastropub 155 E Ontario St, Chicago

Light and fluffy delicious house made biscuits are served in hot cast iron skillets and served with whipped honey butter. Crab hush-puppies... OUTSTANDING!!! The Pork Porterhouse was enough to feed us two and then some!

If you're down around the Magnificent Mile and have worked up an appetite head here, you won't be disappointed.
