I am always hopeful and on the lookout for some good places.<br /><br />I have found a few favorites depending on my wife's mood. For reasonably priced sit down comfort food, I like Grace O'Malley's at 14th & Michigan. For a more dressed up occasion, Tapas Valencia on 16th and State is really good. For pizza, Lou Malnati's at 8th and State, but good luck getting a table. The place is eternally jammed. For holistic fast food (if there is such a thing), head down to Epic Burger on Harrison and State.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-41333750208930487302009-08-10T12:56:17.168-05:002009-08-10T12:56:17.168-05:00Americancrow, what's your favorite South Loop ...Americancrow, what's your favorite South Loop restaurant?Sloopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513112726608015138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-64708206324535770152009-08-08T14:15:19.232-05:002009-08-08T14:15:19.232-05:00While these 2 restaurants may be the best at that ...While these 2 restaurants may be the best at that intersection, they are far from good. Gioco is an overpriced Olive Garden without the all you can eat salad and coloring placemats for the kiddies. While not in the South Loop, you are far better off heading to Little Italy and enjoying Tuscany, Rosebud, or Francesca's. As for Zapatista, you pay for the ambiance. The food is no better than Chipotle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
