Must Eat Restaurant in Chicago

As many of you may know, Chicago is a bounty of good eats. The surprise of the trip came from a tip from a (frequent) patron of The Lodge on Division (Rush St. area). If you go to Chicago, you need to fight your way into Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinders. Order the Mediterranean Bread and individual Pizza Pot Pies. This was some of the best eatin' I've experienced...and I've eaten a fair bit.

I don't really even know how to explain the Pizza Pot Pie except amazing. Now, you're likely to wait a fair piece. The Maitre'd is a strange fellow that doesn't write names on a list, because he has the unique ability to recognize faces. Well, we were told an hour wait and luckily there was a friendly pub across the street, The Clark Bar, so we headed over there to return a little over an hour later. When we headed back, the wife MF'd her way to immediate seating. The rest was awesome eating. Highly recommended. Beware, cash only...which makes me think: I can't remember ever eating at a cash-only restaurant that wasn't fantastic.
