Max’s is like Max & Benny’s but their tongue sandwich is better. They have better sandwiches. I’ve gone to Max’s since 2005.
mizrahis is ace Israeli cuisine - their wraps are great. The mabucha is a red pepper purée and it’s very spicy, in a good way. So I like to get a wrap with a side of Mabucha and rice. Their French fries are good if you don’t want rice. Their hummus and baba ganoush and pita are really really great - it’s not like Sabra (supermarket) or like Roti (Mediterranean chain). I only started going to mizrahis around 2016. I used to over order because I wanted the above plus Israeli salad.

Kimchi soup with silken tofu and mushrooms. Simple, but came together in less than 30 minutes on a workday night, so a win in my book.

Just a couple days of grilling season until it drops back to normal Chicago March weather. It's still dark at 6 pm here which is making it a little trickier than summer grilling too.
Last night, chicken fajitas on the grill. Tequila and diet Sprite while I cooked. Midwestern Margarita. I may have to trademark that.
Tonight, grilled halibut and vegetables. Probably pass on the cocktail tonight.

I made an Italian dish: Pasta alla Norma. An old friend showed me the receipt his granma gave to him...wow! Can't describe it properly. Please if you like Italian coucine...try it!
The secret souce:
- dry Italian pasta (of course)
- 2 small aubergines
- tomato sauce
- 80g dry salty ricotta
- olive oil
- salt
- basil
Process: cut the aubergines in little cubes, fry them. Add basil, then add tomato sauce and salt (30 min all). Boil the pasta, then add it to the aubergines, add other basil and mix everything. When ready scratch all the ricotta as final topping...Then put everything in the owen for 10 min (if you want you can add parmesan). Buon apetito and thank you for trying it
