Welcome, Reader Readers!

Regular poster and Thai menu expert Erik M is featured in this week's Chicago Reader in an article that also mentions our little online community.

The article is in the October 29th issue of Chicago Reader. You can find it in section 2, on page 4, entitled "Grilled Octopus, Corned Beef and Fried Worms." The fried worms part of the title refers to Sticky Rice Northern Thai, which is on Western Ave, just north of Irving Park Rd. A recent thread on Sticky Rice can be found here. Regular forum contributor Erik M. helped put this restaurant on the map by translating their Thai menu into English.

If you're coming from this article, our site's pretty self-explanatory, so welcome to LTHForum and feel free to jump right in to the boards, or search for something specific.

This is the week that we should welcome Reader readers as the weekly round-up includes quite a few places well discussed on this forum:

Brasa Roja
Barbara Ann's
Edna's
Honey 1
Sabri Nehari
Spring World

And more. It's nice to see some great places escape the cyber world.
