Lincolnwood this afternoon -- any lunch suggestions?

Post #1 - January 13th, 2007, 3:09 pmAll those pictures of Katys Dumplings have me lying in bed in the morning, wondering how to justify going out there.
I have to go to lincolnwood today to look at a car -- any lunch suggestions? Any type of food, I'm not looking to hit a homemade noodles jackpot. Although that would be wonderful.

GritsGal,
I know you're new to LTH (Welcome!), so allow me to translate: I presume that what Evil Ronnie is suggesting is that the original thread was somewhat critical of Wholly Frijoles (Evil, correct me if I misinterpret). I was one of those critics, but this place is highly regarded by many, so it's certainly not to be discounted.

You should do a search on ceviche here if you haven't already. I had a conch ceviche at La Cazuela that was delicious a few months back. Las Islas Maria is just a couple blocks south and their ceviche is also good, a little finer chopped but tasty as heck on saltines!
I'm a fellow ceviche lover, that's where I go when I get the urge.I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body. Then I realized who was telling me that.

Post #7 - January 13th, 2007, 5:19 pmIf it's not too late, I'd add GNR winner Elephant Thai to the list. Although it's not in Linconlwood, it's right across the Chicago border in Edgebrook.

Post #8 - January 14th, 2007, 6:32 pmthanks so much for the suggestions.
We actually decided that the Toyota dealership 26 miles west of us was surely better than the one 5 miles north and warranted a drive on 290 through 35 min of traffic ... and we went to K's Dumplings on the way.
Didn't get a car, but I haven't had such good handmade noodles since I was a kid -- I loved the Schezuan spicy noodle soup, the Dan Dan was also very good but the bitterness was a bit much for me -- we had to keep switching off.
There's a Cantnonese Ja Jang Mien that I ate frequently in Hsin-ju. It didn't have a black bean base like the Korean version -- but a ground pork meat sacue that wasn't saucy -- is Ja Jang Mien on the menu here? I guess I can muster up the courage to ask her next time.
thanks again for taking the time to respond to my question -- we'll probably go to Lincolnwood tomorrow since "K's Dumplings Toyota" didn't have my car in stock. I might check out the Thai place.
** it can't be coincidence that I unintentionally used the word "saucy" in a thread that mentioned Wholly Frijoles. Am I thinking of the right episode?
