Thinking with my stomach
Thinking with my stomach
Here's a bunch of my favorite spots near me to absolutely ravage a meal. If you're in the Chicago area, these would all be viable for you! If not! Take a trip! Pheobe Bridgers is from here after all so doesn't that make it famous
I can't get over the breadsticks, terrible Italian food except like the lasagna and parmigiana but it really isn't the worst price for a quick Italian meal, though if you eat there all the time you may have issues. But it is a craving.
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
The butter burgers, the freshness, the flavor, the most reliable burgers on the planet and even their grilled chicken is great, ice cream that is great, cheese curds that are to die for, among alot else, salads and whatnot you won't be disappointed i...
Culver’s
No matter what I do I cannot stop thinking about these burgers, I've mentioned the culvers burger but that is still fast food, this is something else, this is a true burger experience, it feels religious, and as many toppings as you like with no char...
Welcome to Five Guys
I literally grew up on this pizza, it's been here for far longer than me and with the way it tastes and the perfection that it is, I'm sure it'll be around long after me. Pro tip, ask for double dough, that may make no sense if you don't know Pizza b...
Rosati's Pizza
It's definitely the freshest tasting sushi I have had. Anything off the menu I feel could satisfy me, good place, affordable, and honestly, I just really want sushi baddd. But if you're in the area, this is one top of the line sushi spot where you do...
Omi Sushi
Best chicken ever truly, only restaurant beating their Asian cuisine is the Japan cuisine place right next door, they're both so good neither has been competition for eachother because you really want both, affordable, flavorful, and it's just fast, ...
Ruby Thai Kitchen | CherryVale Mall
My dad works for Panera so I'm biased because I used to get free gift cards, but it's truly fresh and great food, I just wish we were in the economy where I didn't have to choose between gas or a fresh meal like Panera.
Panera Bread
If you're wondering what my favorite restaurant is of all time, you've found it, it really is the full package, quality customer care and food that will put you into a coma afterwards but you would never regret it. I went here especially during my ti...
Pho Square Vietnamese Restaurant + Boba Tea
Hands down my favorite tacos. I don't know who I would've been without trying these tacos and I wish I had more of them right now, but it's not just the tacos, the elotes, ohhhh the elotes, if you don't know elotes is my favorite snack so I'm very ju...
Olivo Taco - Belvidere
See like I said in the other post, I typically go to Olivo if I want tacos, moreso for the elotes, but I can't not give props to Marvins for being as delicious as it is, it's a food truck but it's pretty known where they would be at, and if you don't...
Marvin’s Tacos
It makes me mad how good and cheap the food is there, and how MASSIVE it is, I got a pork tenderloin or something and I just remember seeing this huge hunk of meat and the poor buns trying to hold it all together haha, amazing amazing amazing, flavor...
Wild Cherries
If you have genuinely never had portillos then I am TRULY sorry for you, ugh just classic Chicago food you truly cannot beat it, I get the beef and cheddar croissants and if you have tried the fries, always get a large, why? You're gonna want a large...
Portillo's Rockford
REALLLL GOOD MEXICAN FOOD, it's a part of a Fiesta Market, but it's just so hidden I didn't know it existed for the longest time, I checked grubhub and it was one of the first results, and truthfully I think I saw god for a moment after eating my mea...
Fiesta Restaurant Mexican Eatery - Belvidere - Grubhub
Ohhh, what I would do for some of their fries right now, they could cure a disease, I swear. But this is an ice cream place, and their ice cream is great. So is their tea, pastries, you name it, and they probably have it, though their savory menu is ...
Sips and Sprinkles
Best donuts, period. Nothing beats these donuts!!! They stop serving them at 2pm typically or even earlier because they bake them fresh every morning, they're just so good they run out even before the store closes, however they also have amazing Chai...
Roll N Donut Cafe
