Western Avenue：芝加哥真正最美味的街道

Last week,Good magazine named Chicago's Broadway作为美国《好杂志》标准中最美味的街道之一，最好的街道特色是“您实际上可以负担得起的精美食品”。Betway必威 – 随行版官网高级美食超出了方程式。就是说，像往常一样，一堆来自海岸的家伙（这次洛杉矶）弄错了。百老汇甚至不是芝加哥最美味的街道。

It may not even be in the top five. Off the top of my head, I say 18th Street, Devon Avenue, Clark Street, Halsted Street, and Milwaukee Avenue, amongst others, might be better. My gut says there's no question that the real tastiest street of all though, is Western Avenue.

Western Avenue, which runs 23.5 miles, is the longest continuous street in the city of Chicago, but its strength goes beyond length. There's a density and diversity that just can't be beat.

On the Southern end near the Irish enclave of Beverly, you've got one of the many哈罗德的鸡棚in the city (11857 S. Western) serving up some of Chicago's best fried chicken. Further north, there'sBJ's Market and Bakery(9645 S. Western) which serves up some flaky baked catfish slathered in a tangy mustard dill sauce and some kick ass flaky peach cobbler.

Right up the street, you'll find theOriginal Rainbow Cone(9233 S. Western) where generations have been coming for founder Joseph Sapp's legendary chocolate, pistachio, strawberry, orange sherbet, and Palmer House (cherry nut) packed ice cream cone.

Much farther North, up in the German enclave of Lincoln Square, you'll find the Thai Triangle which features some of Chicago's best Thai eats includingSpoon（4608 N. Western），可为凯冻或柠檬草和胡椒泰式鸡肉提供出色的鸡肉，Opart Thai, (4658 N. Western), andSticky Rice(4018 N. Western).

Even farther North, at the edge of the city, you'll findCandlelite Pizza(7452 N. Western), which has some of Chicago's best cracker thin crust sausage pizza, along with awesome garlic fries tossed with fresh chopped cloves and red wine vinegar, and a cast iron skillet fresh baked chocolate chip cookie sundae.

South of Lincoln square, you'll run in toBorinquen休息室(3811 N. Western), which serves up the jibarito, a sandwich where garlicky deep fried plantains sub in for bread and hold pulled pork, steak or your choice of protein along with a healthy side of yellow rice and creamy pigeon peas.

In West Rogers Park, the Indian/Pakistani/Orthodox Jewish enclave near the corner of Devon and Western,Khan BBQ(2401 W. Devon Ave.) holds court serving up Chicago's best tandoor grilled meats including a singular smoky green chili slathered chicken boti.

In between Lincoln Square and Devon, you'll findSan Soo Gap San(5247 N. Western) one of Chicago's best charcoal fired Korean bbq joints serving up Gojuchang paste slathered short ribs and a whole host of excellent panchan. Just slightly north isMax's Italian Beef(5754 N. Western Ave.), which serves one of Chicago's leanest most satisfying beefs and its famed ghetto fries slathered in Merkt's cheddar cheese, giardinara, onion, and bbq, Chicago's answer to Montreal's squeaky curd and gravy topped poutine.

There's also a couple of first-rate barbecue shacks on Western led byHoney 1(2241 N. Western) which serves up smoky honey kissed bbq sauced Renaissance fare sized turkey legs.

我不能忘记洪堡公园的birria或出色Birria Estilo Jalisco(2045 N. Western) or the farm fresh grilled panini fromVellaCafé, (1912 N. Western).

Some would argue the dueling 24 hour taco shacksArturo的(2001 N. Western) where Top Chef contestant Stephanie Izard liked to get a tostada after a shift at her old restaurant Scylla andLazo's（2009 N. Western）值得点头。

毫无疑问Margie's Candies（1960 N. Western），这是一家87岁的冰淇淋店，提供足够大的圣代鞋，可以在这座古老的美味途径上切入。

There's also family style reasonably priced pasta atIl Vicinatoat the edges of Tri-Taylor/Little Italy (2435 S. Western Ave.)

The thing is, I know I'm missing at least ten other places that others consider favorite reasonably priced eats. One thing I know most Chicagoans would agree on is that Western Ave. is most definitely tastier than Broadway.
