A few shots showing Paris’ first food truck Le Camion Qui Fume. Their BBQ burger topped with fried onion ring is a totally worth-it heart attack waiting to happen.

A few dishes from La Taverne de Zhao – a cheap and casual Chinese joint that has people lining up on a side street near the Canal.

In our defense, we were tired. Having just completed sixteen hours (or at least six) of tedious design work for the soon-to-be tricked out Paris by Mouth, Barbra and I were a little glazed. We wanted beer and to eat a little something, but we didn’t want to put on pants. Within these confines, a plan [...]

Alejandro at El Nopal

Review: El Nopal

On January 14, 2011 · 4 Comments · In Cheap Eats

As a former Chicago resident, I miss Mexican(s). Both the food, and the fun of working with them in the kitchen (where they reign at every restaurant in that city). At El Nopal, a relatively new tacqueria near the Canal, I get to rediscover the joys of both. Alejandro, the Monterrey native who runs this [...]

Review: Tartes Kluger

On December 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment · In Cheap Eats, Reviews

I began to wonder, while sitting at the communal table and trying to fork the last stray strands of an arugula salad, could Tartes Kluger be the most bobo meal I’ve ever had? Before I continue, let me define that term. The word “bobo” – a contraction of bourgeois and bohemian - is one that we [...]

Between the Benjamin and the Bunny

On September 3, 2009 · 3 Comments · In Cheap Eats

I was out for a run the other night when I saw a steady stream of pizza boxes coming at me. No, I wasn’t dehydrated… these were Domino’s pizza boxes from a new franchise on my street. So many of my neighbors were carrying them that I assumed they must be giving them away. I [...]
