Triple D in Chicago: White Palace
Round 3 of our food network run. Actually it's Round 3, 4, and 5... because our first 2 attempts at DDD failed.
First one we hit was HonkeyTonk BBQ in the depths of a Mexican neighborhood. (Go figure that one yourself). The menu seemed good, too bad they were closed for unknown reasons. From the outside, it was a hole in the wall.
Second one was Nala Organic. This one was in Bridgeport.. an Italian district. Upon arrival, a small crowd was waiting outside. Good sign of good eats. But. the 45 minute wait was a turnoff as we had plans. Too bad.. things look pretty good in there. (We might try this one again at another date)
Third attempt of the day is White Palace. The place was crowded again! But. the wait was tolerable. The decor was definitely "diner"
Side of soup and salad. Salad was as plain as you can get. Meh.
Chicken Fingers: Very tender. With a good BBQ sauce.
Greek Chicken. Cooked tenderly. Good rice.
Kris' Denver Omlette. "It's good"
Overall.. White Palace is a good place to eat. Not sure if I would recommend this place on any other day other than Saturday. Where the signature dishes that Guy had tasted on the show was featured are available. Short Ribs and another Chicken dish.
There's that 'Guy' again...

Triple D in Chicago: Panozzo's
Round 2 of the Triple D adventure. Panozzo's on Michigan Avenue. It's a small upscale Italian market/deli with a wide selection of meats and cheeses.
Kris' sandwich. It's good. No roaches.
A salad with rolled oats and veggies/fruit.
The lasagna that made this place famous. It's got all the right texture you'd expect from a lasagna. The beef and pork are super YUM! And there's something about the cheese and binds it all together so nicely. One of the best lasagnas I've ever tasted. Just wished I had more.. Sephie ate my portion.
Lillian's something-something wrapped in something. It was REALLY good. Wish I remember what was it called or what was in it. I really need to order this next time. YUMM!
