The Cubs have suffered through an equally powerful curse. The story goes that when a man arrived at Wrigley Field with a billygoat in tow, he was denied entrance. So he hexed the Cubs, saying they would never win another World Series. It was a ludicrous concept at the time. The Cubs, in fact, had been the century’s first great dynasty, going to four of the first seven World Series ever played, and winning twice. But the curse of the billygoat stuck, and the last time the Cubs brought home the ring was in 1908. The last time they even made it to the World Series there were only forty eight states. The Cubs too were poised to win a pennant that October of 2003, playing in the National League Championship Series.

And the pickles you tasted at Billy Goat Tavern are produced by us as well. Next, you have to try our "Chicago Style" Hot Pepper Mix "Giardiniera" and our delicious Olive Muffalata.

Hecky's. I had almost been here (in NYC) long enough to forget just how delicious it is. Don't worry, I remember now. Also, if you ever venture to the South Side, try the deep dish at Arrenello's in Glenwood. And order extra garlic. I call them when I get off the plane at O'Hare and it's ready by the time I get there.... My god. Hecky’s. I had almost been here (in NYC) long enough to forget just how delicious it is.

Lou Malnattis is the tits. The origianal in Lincolnwood is the best. Butter crust (thick) and sausage - don't f-around w/ veggies. The simpler the better. Billy Goats? Please. The only reason to eat there is nostalgia. Wish I could recommend a place, but I prefer upscale for a really good burger. Although Blackies is not w/out it's charms. Hecky's is good, Honey 1 is far superior. And the next time you're in town, please try an Italian beef, or a beef and sausage combo, and a lemon ice@ Johnny's in Elmwood Park. It may just change your life. You ate at the wrong pizza place. Lou Malnattis is the tits. The origianal in Lincolnwood is the best. Butter crust (thick) and sausage – don’t f-around w/ veggies.

Definitely get the ribs & tips - all the meat is piled on top of thick steak fries to soak up all the sauce and juices. Yum!!
