Vito & Nick’s

Vito & Nick’s specializes in homemade, thin, crispy pizza and a menu of classic Italian dishes. This family owned business has been around for over 80 years, following a time-honored tradition of quality ingredients. There’s no delivery; you’ll have to enjoy your piping hot crispy pizza at the restaurant. 

Strings

Strings offers authentically prepared ramen dishes that will delight. The noodles are handmade and steeped in a traditional broth for 48 hours resulting in bold flavors. The restaurant is casual and comfortable; a great place for a quick meal almost any time of the day. A BYOB restaurant.

Crosby's Kitchen

Crosby’s Kitchen offers perfectly prepared American fare. The menu is simple and delicious; the cornbread appetizer is a favorite. You’ll see deliciously succulent chicken on the rotisserie in this open kitchen style restaurant. The ambiance is comfortable and lacks pretense. A full-service bar also boasts delicious cocktails.

This Week’s Episode: Wood, Kai Zan, Tio Luis Tacos

Hello!

My guests this week were such a lively bunch. This show was incredibly fun to shoot! As one can imagine, a restaurant named Wood in the heart of Boystown gave way to many a joke throughout the afternoon. Heck, even they have fun with the name with their cheekily-named brunch: Morning Wood Brunch. Although we had quite a few giggles during the taping, the food at Wood (which was recently added to Michelin’s Bib Gourmand list) is nothing to joke about.
