The Daily Grub

When life gives you lemons and limes, make ceviche.

Whether I’m at home ordering dinner or out with friends at a nice restaurant, when the food arrives to the table, my initial reaction isn’t to just dive in fork first. To the annoyance of my hungry friends, our dining engagements tend to turn into impromptu photo shoots.

Are you tired of ordering the same dishes from the same restaurants? I say shake things up a little tonight and order some delicious grub from a new place.

Pura Belleza Café serves up dishes that are made with fresh ingredients and some extra love.

These restaurants aren’t gorgeous, but the food they serve up is stunning. And with the economy in the dumps, those looking for some affordable eats won’t be disappointed with the prices at these local Chicago eateries.
