Good Eats near Joliet?

Hey all,

I will be in the Chicago area this weekend and am looking for some good eats in places near Joliet for some good, traditional Chicogo-style food. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm willing to try pretty much anything so just shout out your favorite places. My past travel to the Chicago area is limited so I don't know how far I'll be able to range...

Cheers!

Gift certificate for Wilmington restaurant - any ideas?

I'm not really sure what kind of food your sister like so I am going to suggest that you get them a gift card from the Atlantic Quest Corporation (www.atlanticquest.net). This card will allow them to dine at The Oceanic Restaurant on Wrightsville Beach, Eddie Romanelli's restaurant, Henry's Casual American and Bluewater. I have eaten at all of these restaurants and they offer what you are looking for. Plus, it gives them a choice of where/what they would like to eat rather than trying to pick just one restaurant.

Hope this helps! Cheers!

Triangle Gyro Quest...

Apparently you are willing to drive so I have a few great options for you for non-chain establishments. In Chapel Hill, go to Mediterranean Deli. These guys always have great gyros, falafel and all the fixings. You can even take some home (baba ghanoush, hummus, etc...) since they have a deli counter. It's worth the drive. If you're in Raleigh and feel like a bit more upscale food, a Lebanese restaurant named Sitti just opened in downtown. All of the food is amazing with fresh baked pita bread, fresh hummus, etc (try the mixed grill platter). The deli owned by the same group also makes amazing food.

Hope that helps! Cheers!
