The accompanying chutneys fill any flavor gaps, though. The tamarind is sticky sweet, while the cilantro mint is herbal and slightly spicy. A little of both added to each bite of the samosas complement the fragrant earthiness inherent in Indian cooking. These addictive little pockets were gone before I knew it. More

Lit by gourd-sized Edison bulbs and outfitted in dark, distressed woods, Telegraph certainly feels of a piece with the owners' other Chicago dining and drinking destinations, Webster's Wine Bar and The Bluebird. I dig the vibe this trio is putting out: airy, relaxed, youthful, and unvarnished, but all the while serious about their beverages. And judging by the pastas I tried, Telegraph's culinary bona fides are deliciously on par with its liquid cred. More

Logan Square Kitchen, a shared cooking and event space in the northwest neighborhood of the same name, will close on June 28th. For most, this sad news is about all you need to know. But if you have been following the story at all, you know about the embittered history that owner, Zina Murray, has had dealing with the city. And if you thought she'd go quietly, you were mistaken.

If I had unlimited amounts of wealth and time, or otherwise lived a life of leisure, I would surely wake up every morning and walk to Lula Cafe, where I would find a sunny spot at their long white marble bar, read the paper, and have breakfast. There would be pour over coffee, an omelet or frittata, and a small plate of their exceptionally good breakfast sausage. And I'd be a happy man. More

The underground dining operation you may or may not have heard of known as X-marx has decided to test the waters aboveground and will be opening a permanent spot in Logan Square in July called Flour and Bones. But before settling down, X-marx flexed their pop-up muscles one more time and offered a taste of the new menu at Sunday's Dose Market. More

At first glance, the Smoked Turkey Piadina sandwich ($5.25) looks a little, uh, flat. Like really flat. Flatter than Illinois' landscape flat. That's because the sandwich—all of Letizia's Fiore's sandwiches—are served on piadina, a thin, Italian biscuit-like bread that's both crunchy and slightly crumbly. More

Lula Cafe's Ham and Raclette Panino ($10) is no exception to the cafe's standard of deliciousness. An upscale version on the traditional ham and cheese sandwich, the panino takes locally sourced ham and mild raclette cheese, and tops it with a fried farm egg. More

To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a grilled cheese is just a grilled cheese. Sure, there are those grilled cheeses that your mother used to lovingly prepare just for you- until you found out your dad got the exact same ones. And what about how jealous you were when you first realized that you didn't have a grilled cheese, or when you worried that you'd have to cut your grilled cheese in half to share with someone else? More

Often times when you seek out sausages, you'll find beer, and vice versa. This hunch is what led me to Revolution Brewing on Milwaukee Avenue, where they brew their own (soon to be manufactured at a new plant in the city) and run a well-received gastropub. More

If there is one thing to learn from Bang Bang Pie Shop's Kickstarter success, it's that the public apparently loves pie. We certainly do. We stopped by the recently opened shop try all of the pies available. More
