What we liked to eat

Dining out or eating in, food was a big part of our life.  We stayed away from most of the chains and fast food places.  We found restaurants we frequented because something about it made us come back.  Some we haven’t visited in a while but they still rank high on our lists.

Here’s some of our fav’s

Late night – Taco Burrito House
Dine-in Mexican – Uncle Julio’s Hacienda
Italian – Rose Angelis
Pizza – Palermo’s and Ledo’s…among many others
Steak – Chicago Chop House & Jack Gibbon’s
Chinese – Chi Tung and PF Changs 
Sandwiches – Jimmy John’s & Portillo’s
Wings – Bird’s Nest
Soup – Soup Box
Thai – Penny’s Noodles
Stir-Fry – Mongolian Grill
Burgers – Muskie’s
Tapas – Cafe Ba-ba-reeba
