BANH MI BA LE
Read moreThis Vietnamese sandwich shop in the Rancho San Antonio district of downtown Oakland doesn't look like much. However, it's worth the detour for its flagship Vietnamese street food sandwiches - chicken, pork or vegetarian - which are renowned throughout the city and unbeatable value. Ready-to-eat dishes that just need reheating are also available. Proof that you shouldn't be fooled by appearances: even the most unattractive storefronts can hide real treasures!
BANG BANG PIE
Read moreHere, we come mainly for the pies that are to be damned: try the coconut pie or, for a typical American tasting, let yourself be tempted by the pecan and chocolate pie or the apple and cranberry pie. There are also versions never available, if you ever come at lunchtime. The biscuits, a kind of scones typical of southern cuisine, are not bad either. They are covered with cheddar, bacon or goat cheese. In short, it's not the lightest lunch, but we enjoy it and go back!
HAROLD'S CHICKEN SHACK
Read moreChicken, chicken and more chicken, served fried of course! Harold's restaurants first met with great success in Chicago's South End, then others began to open throughout the city, and even beyond the borders of Illinois.

An authentic (and family-run) place, offering only locally caught products.

DOLLOP COFFEE COMPANY
Read moreThis local coffee chain has ten addresses throughout Chicago and is frequented by a young and trendy clientele, most often with a laptop. We naturally drink good coffee, with some options particularly popular with the local hipsters: cinnamon and honey latte, chai latte, mocha with Nutella... This is a far cry from the good old "cup of Joe" served black and sugar-free! We appreciate the modern and rather refined decoration. We can spend hours here, chatting or working all fuel at the café.
SOUTHERN CLASSIC CHICKEN
Read moreLocated outside the historic city centre, in the new city, Southern Classic is one of the most popular guest rooms of the hotel. We eat the best fried chicken in the city, namely drumsticks and fried chicken wings. It is not a healthy thing, it is not dietetic and it is quite American.
ROLLIN' IN THE DOUGH
Read moreThis is the temple of local fast-food, that's good burgers— bread is made on the spot— po and other fried fish dishes. It's greasy, oily, dubious and frankly American.
