Fab Review: bopNgrill

January 15, 2016 by Soo Park

Fab Review: bopNgrill // Photo: @fabsooparkbopNgrill is a fast casual, counter-service spot that serves Korean-American fusion fare. The combination of the two cultures result in gratifying and flavorful dishes including Philly bulkogi egg rolls, umami and kimchi burgers, kimchi fries, rice plates, and more. My mouth is watering as I am writing this!…

Fab Review: Angry Crab

Happy December! Time to remember and reflect all the great memories we had this year! Angry Crab brings me fond memories. My first experience with crawfish was filled with blunders. I didn’t know how to eat the little sea creatures and was embarrassed because it seemed like everyone else knew what they were doing. Good thing someone spoke up because we all realized that no one actually knew what they were doing. This was especially true since Chicago didn’t have too many crawfish joints at the time. By the time Angry Crab opened up in Chicago and crawfish became popular, my friends and I were already pros at the art of eating crawfish so I decided to create my own guide.

Here is my review of Angry Crab and a step-by-step guide on how to eat crawfish……

Fab Review: El Carrito

Tacos from El Carrito// Photo: @vansventures

Influenced by Mexican street food, El Carrito serves an array of traditional and creative tacos as well as other popular Mexican dishes including tortas, elotes, tamales, and more. Located in West Rogers Park, El Carrito is a hidden gem.

This family-owned business is a casual spot with a focus on fresh and high-quality ingredients. Everything is made from scratch daily and the handmade tortillas are made to order. So yum!

I love venturing out to new places in the city so I was excited to try El Carrito. Oh, it’s BYOB so don’t forget to bring your favorite drink!
