  • Fry Bread House


    If you’re like me, the State Fair means just one thing: The Food Rides!

    The piggly wiggly fry ride, the corn dog ride, the lemonaid ride and most importantly, the indian fry bread ride.

    Once upon a time you could only get fry bread at the fair, but now there are a few places you can buy fry bread year-round. (Finally, I don’t have to go to the state fair anymore!)

    Best of the bunch is the Fry Bread House, which not only has good fry bread, but makes good red and green chile beef to top it.

  • Da Chicago Dogs & Subs


    Da Chicago Dogs & Subs is a brand-new restaurant. Last week I drove by and noticed the “cooming soon” sign and today they were open, so it seemed a fortuitous time to try a hot dog.

    The menu is simple and straightforward. They have six kinds of dog, all featuring Vienna Beef products and a selection of 12 hot and cold subs.

    I had the Da Jumbo Dog. Da Chicago grills their dogs and, although I prefer my dogs boiled, it was a good. Vienna Beef products tend to be follproof. All their dogs are served with with fries or coleslaw (or perhaps I should say Da Fries or Da Coleslaw?) The fries were a bit undercooked.

    I think Da Chicago warrants a return, it was pretty clear that they hadn’t really gotten settled in and they had a few workflow issues with the ordering and food assembly process.

    If you’re in the area, give them a try.

  • DiVito’s Italian Foods


    DiVito’s has been serving up food since 1973 and in some weird quirk of fate and circumstance, despite eating there since 1993, I’ve never eaten a pizza in their restaurant. (I’ve had a few take-out ones, but that doesn’t qualify for a review pizza.)

    When I eat at DiVitio’s it’s for lunch, and their “homemade” Sausage or Meatball Sicilian Sandwiches are wonderful. Made from the same materials they make their pizza, these compact, calzone-like meals are their specialty.

    During the week, they’ve also got a series of daily lunch specials (Monday’s, an antipasto salad, is pictured here) that are very reasonably priced.

    One of these days I’ll get around to reviewing their pizza.

    Recommended.
