- Pork katsu from konbini and Kanpai. The pork katsu was perfectly fried and not oily. Loved the katsu sauce too. One of the best tasting pork katsus I've had in Chicago.; 2. Babaganoush from Alfarsi. It's a new place that opened up in North Center. They have wraps and meat platters too. Not pictured is the beef wrap which I enjoyed. Glad to have to spot in the neighborhood and will be back.; 3. Kbbq from cho sun ok. Although it's not as good of a deal as it used to be and I have to shower to get rid of the bbq stench, it's still my fave kbbq in Chicago. 4. Leek stuffed pappardelle from Maxwell Trading. Pasta had the perfect texture and sauce was incredible. 5. French onion dip from Maxwell trading..omg I wish I can slather this on everything; 6. The OG breakfast sandwich from Mimi's on Lincoln. It's a new spot that opened up. Glad to have the option but this was a miss for me. The egg had a chewy spongy texture and the bagel tasted stale. I will go back and try their lunch sandwiches. 7. Campechana torta from torteria San Lechito. I found this spot through this sub. Torta was fantastic and HUGE. This was two meals for me. Owners are so nice. I'm not usually in Albany park but will go out of my way to get this Torta. 8. Sushi from Umi. New spot in the loop that allows you to pay by the pound. It is pretty good. Ryo is still my favorite for lunch time sushi in the loop but nice to have a second option.
