Focus on Food

A guide to Chicago-area restaurants (and their bathrooms). We focus more on how the food tastes than how it looks, and on what the guidebooks won't tell you. Occasionally, we travel outside Chicago and review the restaurants we try. If you're interested in reviews of food people really eat, this site is for you. Please e-mail your comments to chicagodining@yahoo.com, or post them on the blog. We'd love to hear from you!
