You've been searching, I found it! (Thanks to JP)

   

        If you see this ^ yer there!

     

The "Little Bohemia Restaurant" in Riverside, Il. (25 East Burlington Street, Riverside, IL 60546 ) is a serious ma & pa diner with amazing food. The ma is the server and she and the pa are the cooks. There may be a few cousins in the kitchen who help out, this is the real deal when it comes to a home cooked meal with old world recipes and preparation! 

This is the inside and this is JP, he brought me here, that is a friend!

Liver ball soup! Tender and full of flavor.

Pork combo: tenderloin and fried/schnitzel. Comes with mashed potatoes, gravy, the soup, which you saw, a vegetable, dessert (yes dessert is included) and bread & butter.

Look at how comforting this meal looks! It's a hug on a plate!!

So happy here I could kiss you.

Look at me go! Eat It!!!

Takin it down! Monte-licious!!!

So good, I may even eat the fork!

All gone! Now for the veggie portion of the meal.

Eat yer veggies! Even the orange ones.

Takin em in like a champ!

Look at the menu and those Amazing Prices!! Roast duck for under $15.00???!!! What??

And it comes with dessert?! Yup.

$8.00 per person for a ridiculous and delicious amount of food! That is a good meal at a good deal! Check this place out, it is worth the trip from the city. BTW,  fuckin "Wendy's" recently stole my tag line (Good meal at a good deal!) in one of their commercials!!! Bastards!!!!!

This place was so good I went back the next day with these two jerks... Beauty & The Beast! ; )

Cafe Central!

I recorded this years ago with my good buddies Masahiro and Sung Hoon (Sonny). Here I am pluggin one of my all time favorites, Cafe Central! This is some of the most amazing Puerto Rican food, right here in Chicago! It is also the first place I ever took my wife to eat and we have been inseparable ever since! Enjoy!

Bang Bang Pie-Biscuit-Coffee, where everything you put in yer mouth feels like a hug.

Bang Bang Pie Coffee and Biscuits at 2051 N. California in Chicago's very own Logan Square. Bang Bang is one of Chicago's many pie shops that have been cropping up in the city throughout the past few years. Which I freakin love!! You can never get enough pie! I really dig this spot and feel it is definitely worth the time to swing by and check it out. Now let's get to the food/pie & biscuits!

The chocolate coconut pie. Ridiculous!! Worthy of shoving in yer face!! I did.

Banana, toffee, and i think walnut?? pie. This was also completely Monte-licious!!

First I am shoving the chocolate coconut pie in my face.

as soon as the creamy, smooth whip cream hits my mouth my taste buds lit up!! The chocolate is silky, sweet and mild. Not to rich and overpowering. Just right!

Btw, I loved the crust, but only ate a bite. As much as love a good crust, I feel it is filler, and I am mostly interested in the filling. Plus I am trying to watch my figure currently.

They weigh the each biscuit to the exact same size. I love this, I hate anyone gettin over on me and would be pissed if one of my friends had a larger biscuit than I. Very pissed!!

some behind the scenes action of the chocolate pie bein made

Looks like graham cracker, crumble crust is bein prepped. I hope I am correct, I didn't double check. Meh... They didn't seem interested in speaking with me for to long anyway. But they did let me take these pics.

After you get yer biscuit you have yer choice of fresh butters and fresh jam. How freakin cool is that??! Super cool.

Behold..... The BISCUIT. I would love this f*cker with some sausage gravy!! The biscuit is perfectly crunchy on the outside

...and soft and doughy on the inside. Absorbent too! It is made to accept butter! Like my gut.

Salted butter

Blueberry Jam

This, or make sweet love Pamela Anderson??

Biscuit wins this time, Pamela!

Takin it down

So damn good!

I am lovin it.

Yes. Bottom gone first.

Look at the crunchy top. In my opinion Bang Bang is totally one of the best spots to get a biscuit in Chicago. If you love biscuits, you will love em here.

Eggs, pourable and shredded cheese atoppa fries?? What? Oh yes!

Does this look prettier than yer baby? If yer answer is No, leave me, my page, my life, everything... Stat!

This is a divine meal, a meal meant to be enjoyed by royalty! Luckily I found it in a somewhat dumpyish bar.

What is it all? If ya can't tell, it's 2 sunny side up eggs atop pourable& shredded cheese, atop french fries! So freakin' Monte-licious!! Unfortunately I had to share these with my wife, but I ate the lions share. It's how I roll! All class!

Look at me go!

I always do it right!

I am proud to be yer hero.

Here is the place... The Irish Mill! 26592 N Il Rt 83
Mundelein, IL 60060 It's a drive, but it is worth it. Plus there is good hiking in the area. Bring the kids out, make it a day.

Outside seating on a huge wrap around deck. I didn't take any interior pics. but it's yer basic bar with T.V's and they smoke indoors still. That stinks, but ya go outside is all. Unless it's winter, then ya just call the cops. ; ) Just kidding.

You can play bags!

Look at yer surroundings if you weer to sit and eat or drink outside. Beautiful!

Bacon, Bacon, and Meatloaf!

This place does not need my support, they do well on their own. But this one is for my moms, and all my bacon lovers out there. I am at Publican in Chicago. Publican is located at 837 W. Fulton Market, and is way over priced, but delicious. But waaaaaay over priced. But extremely Monte-licious! The bacon alone is so good I would go back just for that. Pictured above is the Meatloaf sandwich topped with an egg and a side of beans. The meatloaf was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It had a nice meaty, generously spiced flavor. It was really terrific! The side of beans was nothing special, and I finished them because they were more expensive than several cans of beans alone. I felt obligated. And they're meats come from locally sourced butchers, which I love! But hate paying a high tax because of it.

This is the bacon at Publican. Look at that! Seriously, just stare at it for a while. Back? Good. It's about an inch thick or so, and tender as a piece of warm butter. This bacon was meaty, a pinch sweet, and ridiculously Monte-licious! I have never had bacon this good anywhere in my life, from anywhere on this great big green and blue planet of ours! If I had an opportunity to try an make love to a super model, I would try to appease her with this bacon. It is that freakin good!

My wife got a waste of calories salad. It looked and smelled good, but c'mon! Look at that bacon again.

It is all about the bacon my friends. And yer hero knows how to do it right! I love you!

Go just for the bacon. Just for the BACON!

My new favorite salad, and it's topped with grilled beef!

This is the Papaya Salad with Grilled Beef from Hoanh Long at 6144 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago. This a Vietnamese, Seafood, and Pho spot. Seafood is their specialty, and they also have Chinese, and some Thai food on the menu. I have eatin a lot of stuff from here, and this is easily my favorite meal from Hoanh Long so far, the Papya Salad with grilled beef. This has a nice mix of a cool sweet and savory papaya salad, topped off with a blast of grilled meat! Monte-licious!

Let's take a look inside; shostring papaya, onion, carrot, mint, in a sweet and spicy sauce. It is then topped off with thin, tender, grilled pieces of beef, topped with peanuts and fried garlic. It comes with a few fish flavored rice cakes, but I don't touch those. This is an appetizer, and I order it as my meal, it is that freakin good! Also, there is a similar meal on the menu, it is the Sweet n Sour Papaya Salad, do not get that, the beef is not grilled in that dish.

Yer hero about to enjoy his dominant ordering decision while his friend still awaits his meal. Yes, I eat as soon as my meal comes. No manners!

Savagery at it's best!

So not handsome, nor sexy while I eat. Yet I have a wife. Who knew??

This is a hot pot. Another smart order. They have beef, pork, and fish hot pots. combo pots are also available. A pot has a burner brought to yer table, and then it comes with a pot of soup. The soup is huge and filled with tons of "Asian style" veggies, and yer meat choice. When you get beef, you get everything. Brain, tripe, etc. They serve it all! And it's the good stuff, the soup gelatinizes. If the used a beef stock, it would remain a liquid when cool. The fact that it turns to a gelatin is really good, yer getting the collagen and that is really good for you!

Check out Hoanh Long when you get a chance, you will love it. And the service is good, which I love! They always have somewhat inappropriate movies playing on the T.V. which I enjoy. This hot pot is filled with seafood, which is actually what they are none for, seafood is their specialty!
