TODAY’S LUNCH: TWO TYPES OF DAL FROM THE FAMOUS DAL WAGON

I've known about The Famous Dal Wagon for a while, but on the NW corner of 32nd St & Park Ave, it's pretty inconvenient for me.  However, after enjoying kati rolls from the Desi Truck last week, and receiving a comment from Terianne that the Desi Truck and The Famous Dal Wagon were each owned by two brothers, I...

CHICAGO’S TOP DOGS

Huffington Post recently had a feature on the best hot dogs in Chicago.  Among their favorites - Hot Doug's, Superdawg, Weiner's Circle and Jimmy's Red Hots - as well as the Wrigleyville Dogs and White Sox Dog at the two baseball stadia. We love pickles and relish on hot dogs, but tomatoes we can do without.

THE FOOD RANDOMIST’S MEXICUE TRUCK REVIEW

We've been away from the NYC area since Thurs for a family event, and have been unable to try the new Mexicue truck that we told you about last week. Jonathan from The Food Randomist sent us his review of the Mexicue truck, which had the classic good news/bad news scenario. The bad news - he was pretty unimpressed with the...
