Marisol left a remembrance on Spaghetti Warehouse:
🌹 Rip

🌹 Remember the all you can eat beef ribs!
Yvette E. left a remembrance on Neely's BBQ Parlor:
🌹 Absolutely loved this place 💖💖💖 Used to go for a girls night out. The portions were large, seasoned well, great drinks. Sorry to see the restaurant close.
JJ left a remembrance on La Bastide Bistro:
🌹 From the first, I said that, if I was dying, their duck confit and pommes frites with garlic and parmesan should be my last meal. Sigh...
pasadena resident left a remembrance on Villa Sorriso:
🌹 thank god that place is closed, such an eyesore and outdated. ready for something new
Matt left a remembrance on El Camino Mongolian BBQ:
🌹 The food here was always delicious, and the owners never failed to make me smile. The walls and ceiling were covered in instant photos of customers. I miss this restaurant.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Caffe Baci:
🌹 Haha, you little weasel, who snuck past me, cutting in line, and took the last of the shrimp salad, Baci's best creation, literally the last, since they discontinued it the day after: I will have my revenge. I will only pity you once, you boneless nebbish.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Taqueria los Caminos de Michoacan:
🌹 A beacon of peace and stability in that once-confused neighborhood. The gorgeous carne asada, the brilliant green garlic salsa. The neighborhood is confused no more. It has embraced its new role as a suburb of Wrigleyville.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Venice Café:
🌹 They moved to Monroe and Clinton, but that location is closed too, it seems. A solid place that never skimped on spicy, which was a rare enough quality at that time to be noticeable. What was the logic behind adding "Cajun chicken salad" to the menu, tho? Who knows. It was good.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Sabor A Cuba:
🌹 So if you said you weren't in a mood for maduros, she would briskly say, you want tostitos? And then she would whirl around, flinging away her consonants, and sing out tto-tti-ttoooo!!! And whirl around, picking up all her letters, and briskly ask, anything else?
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Pierrot Gourmet:
🌹 Once in a while you went there, wearing pricey bland clothes for real, and pretend you were the type who always got breakfast brought to you while you lounged with a coffee and the New York Times
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Nuevo Leon Restaurant:
🌹 Not a single friend I went there with is trackable. Are they suburban homeowners now?
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Muskie's:
🌹 In one way it was like a hundred other places in Chicago; in another, a stunning monument from an ancient time. A place to gloat over your latest purchase from Powell's, while your burger and fries got made. Am I hallucinating or were they at Belmont and Sheffield decades ago? Or right here, when the Lakewood line carried actual traffic.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on La Brasa Roja:
🌹 These people radiated beauty. Or was it the perfect chicken and surpassing salsas
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Foodlife:
🌹 Out of the dark ages populated by those dismal places called food courts burst forth Foodlife and made us think that Chicago was just like a shimmering Asian megalopolis
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on El Tinajon:
🌹 Yeah if you ever felt a sudden longing for being at home, dining at home.
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Chicago Brauhaus:
🌹 How the chairs and the bar and the dinner trays fit together with absolute precision. How wonderfully cooked the sausages and how delicious the beer. And THAT guy playing waltzes and the waitresses yelling at the bartender for eis. You felt like a rich tourist in your own neighborhood
Bosanski Okusi left a remembrance on Chef Luciano:
🌹 When the Velvet Lounge (rip) reopened on Cermak, the Chef himself brought in a variety of finger food, and it was good and I planned to go sometime, before a concert maybe, but never went. Maybe it was all those somewhat scary stories, too iffy to truly believe, too under the radar to be called legends.
