Post #631 - February 24th, 2009, 12:00 pmLTHForum.com moderator David Hammond is the guest blogger at the Reader's Food Chain blog today, where he praises Bridgeview's Al Bawadi Grill:David Hammond at The Food Chain wrote:Meat and fish are flame-cooked over an impressive metal trough, just a little wider than the length of a kebab skewer, and the meat we had was grilled just about perfectly, with caramelized crustiness outside and plush pinkness inside. Owner/chef Kal Ismail uses lump charcoal (never briquettes) for a clean, woodsy finish.
Rice is prepared with precision, each grain distinct, in yellow saffron or a darker tomato-based version described as “spicy” (which it may be for Middle Eastern palates, but not so much for capsaicin-addicted Chicagoans).

Post #643 - May 15th, 2009, 2:51 pmAlong with Passive Aggressive Notes, Awkward Family Photos, and F My Life, I check This Is Why You're Fat each morning as a transition into the start of my workday. A few weeks ago I was delighted to immediately recognize a Kuma's burger.

Post #646 - July 2nd, 2009, 10:27 amThere was a nice blurb in today's Chicago Zagat Buzz e-newsletter (subscription) about happy_stomach and Hellodali's new venture.Full-Belly Cycling
Published in Deals/News/Events
Here's an interesting way to mix exercise, fine food and the great city of Chicago. This summer and fall, Fork and the Road is offering culinary bike tours that hit up a variety of Windy City spots. There are five different routes, each with a specific focus: international barbecue, vegetarian/locavore, Asian, Latin American and "unsung Chicago classics." Each trip lasts three to five hours (ranging from 13–23 miles) and includes three to four stops. The meeting places vary, but are always near a bike-rental location ($50–60 per person depending on the tour, includes all food, but not bike rentals; for safety reasons, you must be 18 or older; click here for more info or to make a reservation, or call 773-610-2432).-Mary

Post #649 - July 26th, 2009, 9:59 pmExcellent segment tonight on Ch. 7's 190 North, featuring happy_stomach and Hellodali. If you missed it, I've heard a rumor that it may be online soon. Interesting that the program opened with a food walking tour, which looked much less interesting than what Dimitra and Sharon are doing.

Post #652 - July 30th, 2009, 11:18 amA great piece about Fork and The Road (by Zak Stambor), the new venture from LTHForum.com members Hellodali and happy_stomach, appears at the Tribune's web site today. There's a nice picture of LTHer nr706, too.Zak Stambor @ the Chicago Tribune wrote:Bautista and Tasiouras, who met on the Chicago foodie Web site LTHForum.com, launched the company after leading a dozen or so fellow LTHForum members on a Giro del Gelato ("tour of gelato") last summer in which they visited five gelaterias in a single day, then a Vuelta a Tacos ("tour of tacos") a few weeks after that.
After the success of those outings, they decided to see if more people might be interested in venturing to restaurants and markets they haven't heard of, and tasting foods they may have never tried before.
"There's so much happening in the Chicago food scene -- from mom and pop restaurants to the big names, in both locally focused foods and experimental foods," said Tasiouras. "We just want to show it off."
