Need recommandations
Ex-Chi person. Have not been back for years. I will visit in April. Here is what I'm looking for:
Italian Beef - Loved Boston's Beef on W.Grand ave., not sure if it's still there.
Polish - Again, loved BusyBee on N.Damen ave. Still there? Also any other suggestions?
Italian - Frequented Centro on N.Wells St., also a GREEEAAATTT place on W.Lawrence ave(8000 blocks?) past Harlem ave. can't remember the name??? Rumored to be the M_B hangout :-)
Any other suggestions.
Steaks - I know all the usual suspects, any new ones I should try?
I live in paradise now, but it does lack the great choices Chi-town offers, so I really want to make the best of my return.
Thanks in advance.

Do you know if that Italian place still exists on W.Lawrence?
Polish - I meant restaurant, not sausage. I'm looking for some home made pierogis, and some great soups.

For Italian Beef:
Johnnies in Elmwood Park 7500 W. North Ave.
Als downtown location on Ontario/LaSalle is ok for beef as it is very convenient.

Boston BB-Q Beef at the corner of Chicago and Grand avenues. The beef was sliced very thin, served on a great bread, dipped, with choice of sweet or hot peppers. Just thinking about it makes me salivate.
Thanks for all the info. I will report when I get back. If you come up with some other suggestions, please post.
