There are so many culinary landmarks in Chicago that truly make this great city a foodie mecca for people around the world. I am sad to say one of those great Chicago landmark institutions is closing its doors for good after 100 years in business. That famous Chicago landmark is Dinkel’s Bakery in Chicago.

Toro has one of my favorite bottomless brunches in town! For Easter, they were running a SPECIAL bottomless brunch which was $75 per person and it included drinks, a raw bar with oysters and cocktail shrimp, a bloody Mary bar with all sorts of mixes and different garnishes like bacon, chamoy dipped straws, and chicken & waffle skewers! The even had a flambé station for pancakes and crepes! They also had multiple courses including blue corn tacos, ceviche, eggs Benedict, chicken enchiladas, and a final course of 3 different kinds of gourmet homemade sorbet. There was a DJ spinning some fun tunes. It was ALLLL THE VIBES!

I love hotdogs! I do have a favorite hot dog place and it is Gene and Jude’s in Des Plaines. Main PicturePhoto by Frank S/ChicagoFoodKing. I want to list some pretty good lesser-known runner-up local hot dogs spots to give you that hot dog fix you are looking for.

I absolutely love sweets. I love Italian pastries even more. I am going to let you all in on my favorite Italian bakery in Illinois. The name of this bakery is Italian Bakery in Addison.

When it comes to the food at certain restaurants, you win some and then you lose some. This place needs to make a few changes on their menu and truly get back to serving up some amazing bites.

Tea Drops are an easy adorable way to make the perfect cup of gourmet tea. All you need to do is place a pod in your cup, add boiling water, stir for 6-8 seconds and let it sit for 30 seconds. They have so many flavors like, matcha, peppermint, rose earl grey, blueberry acai. They are lightly sweetened and a perfect pick me up! <a href="https://www.myteadrop.com">https://www.myteadrop.com</a>/

I recently had the pleasure of trying out a Chinese restaurant in the Schaumburg area. The name of the restaurant is Phat Phat Chinese Restaurant. outside restaurantPhoto by Frank S/ChicagoFoodKing.

Which do you prefer? Burritos or Quesadillas from Taco Bell? Here is my opinion on both items.

Folks have been waiting for Burger King to release their Whopper Melt. The wait has ended for you can now order the Original Whopper Melt and or their SPICY edition at your local Burger King.

Calm down folks! You will have to go into your local McDonald's to create this one for an extra charge but in comparison to the Wendy's Baconator, this isn't half bad.

Folks warned me about the HEAT on this one and so I had to find out for myself. Here is the OFFICIAL review!

So here is a crazy and wild Menu Hack on McDonald's Menu. Remove the beef from the Big Mac, lettuce, pickles and onions. Then turn around and add the cracked egg and sausage patties instead, along with the big mac sauce of course.

Shake Shack is at it again with their new Buffalo Chicken. A crispy, hand-breaded chicken breast covered in Buffalo Sauce, topped with ranch, pickles and crunchy water on a toasted potato bun.

For some strange reason, this McDonald's Chicken Big Mac isn't available in the UK but why? It's easy to order chicken instead of beef.

Some people LOVE Chick Fil-A and others love Popeyes but when it comes down to their Macaroni & Cheese, which of these two Fast Food QSR's serves up THE BEST???

Korean Fire Spicy Noodle Challenge is meant for those that can HANDLE THE HEAT! I thought that I could pour the ENTIRE BOTTLE over my Noodles but this Hot Sauce was VERY DIFFERENT!!!

This 1330 calorie Monster Burger is not for everyone, let alone ANYONE but those of us CRAZY ENOUGH to attempt it. No matter, it went down all the same.

Some people love Fruit & Whipped Cream on their Pancakes while others still enjoy the original syrup & butter. How do you enjoy your pancakes?

It is that time of year again. Everyone gets into the spirit of Christmas cheer with presents under the tree, the food, the decorating, and, of course, the commercialism of the holiday. The one location in Chicago that is a prime example of taking something super awesome and sweet and turning it into an overpriced overcrowded event is ChristKindleMarket in downtown Chicago.
