Is It Donut or Doughnut? Who Cares Just Eat It!

We recently visited the much talked about Doughnut Vault in Near North and damn was it good.  The special changes daily so be sure to check their site and follow them on Twitter for updates on what's left and how many people are in line.  I would probably avoid going on a Saturday unless you get there around 9 or 9:15am, or don't mind waiting awhile.  We showed up right around 9:30am and had to wait about an hour to get some delicious fried dough in our mouths.  It's a cash only place and you'll spend about $3 each, but they are huge.  Be ready for a nap after this morning meal.  Worth the wait/price and an accomplishment you can brag about!

A Hot Mess

There's not much to say about Mr. Beef's except that it's a Chicago must have.  It's not the biggest sandwich you'll ever eat and there's no selection of whacky toppings like at Hot Doug's, but what you will get is a delicious, tender Italian beef sandwich that guarantees to bring you back again.  It's messy and good.  What more do you really need?

Lightly dipped with sweet peppers, the only way to roll.
