A slim physique, I like to keep, but ethnic food gets me out of the diet mood. A single guy I do not cook, so to local restaurants I daily book. Now to you I do divulge, the places where my appetite is indulged.
Red curry carried from Thai House; Mike It Up’s boba tea, your thirst it will douse. If Salvadorian pupusas are what you crave, Usuluteco is the all rave. When falafel’s on your mind, at Byblos a fix you’ll find. One gyro at LeMonde Café, with two sides of tabouli and you’re on your way! For an after-dinner dessert, Larkspur’s tiramisu will get your mouth alert.
Mongolian grills are all around; at Kwan Court, sushi happy hour does daily abound. Saigon serves noodles in a snap. At the Artichoke, try Paddy’s pickled pepper wrap. If a bierock you’ve never had, a trip to The Riverside Perk will make you glad. Sabor’s fish tacos are a prize—Chef Paul-Febres is easy on the eyes.
La Galette has yummy tomato bisque; for an Indian newby, Maharaja’s buffet is worth the risk. For a sandwich twist, a torta from Laura’s you’ll want in your fist. When looking for good Italian, De Fazio’s spaghetti and meatballs is your culinary stallion. Beijing Bistro is the place to go for Chinese, with lemon chicken that will always please. If a burger’s what you want, to TJ’s you need to jaunt.
Where to go for Sunday Brunch? Yia Yia’s, it has lots for you to munch. What about those late night munchies? The Donut Whole’s cakes of Fruity Pebble crunchies! Where’s a bar that has good eats? The Anchor, it surely competes. The morning-after drinks are over? To the Beacon, you’ll soon get sober.
The ICT has lots of food, to suit just about every mood. Hole in the wall, carry out if you call. Some will have a daily special, other’s menus will make your mind wrestle. There’s no need to diet. Eating out is a riot! Sans corporate chain, it’s all about local gain.

Yes, love the tomate bisque @ La Galette; however, their chicken salad sandwich was more like celery sandwich with a hint of chicken – that was back in Jan; may have changed by now.

A Passage to India is one of those little hole in the wall joints you spoke of. It was my first experience with Indian cuisine. I had the lamb Tiki Masala and it was wonderful. The kir – rice pudding – was warm and soupy; the mango lassi was a yummy mango yogurt smoothie. For pho and boba tea, try Pho Hot at Pawnee and I-35. I had the sirloin and meatball pho and the house boba tea. The flavors in the soup were fresh and bright; the black tapioca in the tea was pleasing to the eye as well as the palate. If you want great home style Mexican food try Mary’s at Oliver and Mt. Vernon. Nothing flashy, just the usual fare but the beef tacos are perfectly fried with just the right amount of lettuce and cheese…and just as delicious as they were in the 70s! The original little Bierock drive-thru at Central and Erie-ish still make the best bierocks ever, served with a spear of crispy dill pickle and a bag of chips. What do I miss? Angelo’s deluxe pizza! There is nothing like it; toppings all the way to the edge of the extra special crust, authentic italian sausage, sweet red sauce; oh, I miss Angelo’s! Just wanted to add some good spots to your already good list of ICT eateries.
