Retro Chinese
Young's
1744 Waukegan Road Glenview, IL 60025
(847) 724-7611.
Retro to be sure.
I have been eating here for 50 years (since I was in a high chair!)
Egg rolls to die for.
All the old favorites:
Egg Fu Young (the best anywhere!)
Shrimp in lobster sauce
Chicken Chow Mein
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Beef with Pea Pods
Very consistent.
Take-out recommended, place feels it has not been redecorated in 50 years.
Restaurants that allow game playing
In the north suburbs, I have seen groups of women who come in for lunch and then spend a few hours playing cards and MahJong.
Can anyone report which restaurants they know welcome these activities?
Top 5 Chicago Sandwiches
Italian Beef - Cap'n Nemo's
Cheddar Burger - Paradise Pup
Char Dog - Poochie's
Corned Beef on Rye - Kaufman's
Felafel Jerusalem style - Pita Inn
Best Jewish Deli in Chicago?
nsxtasy, thanks for the bump and link in the other thread!
I am so mourning Kaufman's misfortune (and all of ours who are in their proximity.) I never took them for granted. I go by there all the time and see no sign of movement or progress from the outside at least.
No one, I mean no one, made a hot corned beef like Kaufman's.
Although I would love to hear current suggestions for my search.
Thin Pizza Chicago Suburbs North
I am on a search for the best thin pizza in the north suburbs.
We keep trying different places and are disappointed.
I like it very thin and crispy.
I would like to hear your favorites.
Tuna salad afficionado
Celery salt, huh?
i know there is *something* in the tuna salad I like, and I keep trying, but I can not quite place it.
very plain, but one main flavor that is present.
Nostalgic Recipes
rockycat,
Any chance of your sharing your mother's tayglach recipe?
I have been dying to try and make it at home.
Lulu's green beans - recipe
I love the green beans served at Lulu's and have been trying to recreate at home.
I was hoping someone else would share my passion for them and share a recipe
that approximates their excellence.
They say garlic, ginger and oyster sauce, and I try that but something is not the same.
Tuna salad afficionado
I am always looking for the best tuna salad sandwich, but there are some parameters:
Just tuna and dressing, nothing crunchy or added.
The sandwich is to be on white toast with nothing else on it.
I suppose it reminds me of my childhood.
I am always trying tuna in places and am invariably disappointed.
Any suggestions?
Remember: plain & creamy!
