Please excuse my ignorance, my dear Yank--I've only been to Chicago once, and it was many years ago--but what's the difference between the third and fourth pics? Different meats, I assume? And a distinct lack of tomato and pickle on the third one, of course.

I can already tell that the answer's going to make me feel like an idiot, isn't it?

Grilled lemongrass chicken with grilled asparagus. A fresh garden tomato salad with feta and olives. Doesn't go with lemongrass normally but tastes divine!

Yum!

The last one is just so wrong. Hot dogs should not have salad on them. But I sure could go for a dinner at Lou Malnati's about now. Rumor has it we will have one next spring. We already have a Portillo's. Makes for a happy Cubbie spring training.

You'll like Malnati's. My favorite is The Lou, which is spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes on garlic-buttercrust.

Stay away from the Portillo's chocolate cake. It's not worth the hype.

That's the one I had when I was in town. Yummy!

I LOVE The Lou. That was my very first Chicago pizza. I've only been to the Oak Park and Wicker Park locations, but love 'em!

Is Oak Park as nice as the main street looks? Seems like a fun place for my daughter to nestle in for a longer while. Then again, living a half-mile from Wrigley doesn't seem all bad, either.

Oak Park is more suburb than city neighborhood. It's the place where Frank Lloyd Wright lived for the major portion of his productive career and his studio is a worthy tourist attraction there, along with the dozen or so homes that he designed nearby. It's a tightly packed but leafy place at the end of one of the subway lines. I would think that it might not be the first choice of a twenty-something, but what do I know?

A-ha, the FLW connection! That makes sense.

Breakfast this morning was cinnful French Toast. Master liked it so much he had a second helping. I made a full loaf, but I'm wondering if there will be any left after the Walking Stomach gets done with it. (It was kiddo's request in the first place.)

I owe Master a thank-you...He dropped and broke our old electric griddle last week. It wasn't very non-stick anymore, and had developed hot spots. I saw a new one at the supermarket, of all places, so it apparently was fate, in his hands.

Oh, I'm sure there would be ways to get you to eat there.

Very Southern European of you of you. But one of my favourite store cupboard meals involves canned sardines and cheese. Its an assault on the taste buds in the way deep pizza is as opposed to thin pizza with little topping, but sometimes that's good. Blue cheese might be a push for me I admit......but, I'd try it the once. ( maybe the same day I try chicken pudding, get them over at the same time?)

One of my favorite light lunches is a green salad topped with chopped sardines and blue cheese, with blue cheese dressing.

Ever since I heard you could ask for a mcgangbang I have been very slightly tempted. What I would do with said thing when got it I don't know. ( the "food" that is. Although, I suppose the same for the other thing. )

Ummmm...
What the hell is a McGangbang?
She asks, feeling rather foolish

Two [or more] all-beef peckers, special sauce, floggers, sheets, one-ons and an open-sesame bun.
