The final OrderUp.

We tapped OrderUp tonight to get some more delicious Chicago Gyros and Dogs. Only to find out that tonight was OrderUp’s very last night. Starting tomorrow, OrderUp is joining forces with GrubHub

That’s kind of a bummer. We really liked OrderUp. But still, we enjoyed our last meal from OrderUp. Genifer had a huge Greek salad…

And I had “The Dougie.” Grilled cheeses loaded with gyro meat…

It sure was delicious. We’re really going to miss OrderUp. It was super convenient and always worked really well for us ever since we’ve moved to Northside. I guess now we’ll have to try GrubHub and see how it compares. 😀🥗🥪❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

We had chicken pot pies for dinner tonight…

Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot pies! YUM! Taken with Instagram. 😀🐔🥧❤️

Taft’s Brewporium.

When we lived downtown, we used to love going to Taft’s Ale House down in OtR, even though we didn’t get there as often as we would like. When we moved to Northside, we noticed that Taft’s had a huge warehouse at the corner of Spring Grove and Mitchell Avenues. We hoped that they had a taproom but no such luck. The warehouse space was just a canning and distribution center. Fast forward a year or so and come to find out that Taft’s is indeed finally opening a tap room in the warehouse. And today was the soft opening of the new Taft’s Brewporium just down the street in Spring Grove Village….

It’s a huge space…

Complete with shuffleboard…

All our Taft’s favorites were on tap…

Taft’s Brewporium also serves food, mainly New Haven-style pizzas. From what I’ve read, New Haven-style pizza is a cross between old-world Neapolitan and New York-style pizza. It uses coal-fired ovens to create a thin, crispy, lightly charred crust. Hey, pizza is pizza. Let’s give it a try…

We couldn’t resist starting with some loaded tots as well…

And we got a 10″ pepperoni pizza. It was delicious!

And with that, we were stuffed. The official Grand Opening for Taft’s Brewporium is next Saturday. It sounds like a pretty fun event

Great beers. Great pizzas and tots. Great place. We’ll definitely be back very soon!

Taft’s Brewporium is a terrific addition to the neighborhood! 😀🍺🍕❤️

Fusian Friday.

Work was crazy busy today and I didn’t get a chance to get any lunch. As soon as work was over and all the day’s fires were put out, I used Fusian’s handy app to place a to-go order so I could bring home some delicious Fusian sushi for dinner tonight…

When I got over to Sixth Street, my order was waiting for me all set to go…

The hardest part was sitting next to all that yummy sushi on the bus ride home and not being to dig in…

Genifer got a California roll. And I got Shrimp tempura…

And spicy tuna…

YUM! 😀🍣❤️

Happy National Cheese Pizza Day!

Today was National Cheese Pizza Day! So we ordered a cheese pizza from NYPD…

We’ve really been into NYPD’s cheese pizza lately. So it was a pretty good excuse to go ahead and order another one. Not that we ever really need an excuse. 😀🍕❤️

Northside Sunday.

This afternoon we walked down Hamilton Avenue to met Randy, Allison and Genifer’s nephews at Arcade Legacy Bar Edition...

It’s usually only open to adults. But on Sundays, they open it up to allows kids as well…

I’ve never heard of Mad Tree’s Dreamsicle before but it’s pretty good stuff…

We ordered some snacks. I didn’t expect the nachos to be so huge…

After playing video games until our fingers hurt, we walked over to Boswell’s Alley to get a bite to eat out on their patio…

I love that Boswell’s always has a riddle up on their blackboard…

It was another great Sunday in Northside. 😀🍺👽❤️

USMNT x NYPD.

This evening we ordered some delicious NYPD pizza and then watched the USMNT lose 2-0 to Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying…

The match was very disappointing. But the pizza was really, really good. 😐⚽️🍕❤️

It’s what’s for dinner.

Genifer made us BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes for dinner tonight…

YUM! 😀🐔❤️

OrderUp: Chicago Gyros and Dogs.

I love me some gyros. But I don’t eat nearly enough of them, mainly because there aren’t that many gyro places around. When I ride my 17 metro bus from work home every night, it goes right by a place in Clifton called Chicago Gyros and Dogs. So it was kind of surprising that we’ve never checked them out. Tonight, we tapped OrderUp to bring us some much-needed gyros…

Genifer ordered the chicken gyro stuffed full of grilled chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and taz sauce…

I ordered just the classic gyro loaded with tons of delicious gyro meat, tomatoes, onions and taz sauce…

And I had to try something Chicago Gyros and Dogs called “The Dougie.” It’s gyro meat on a grilled cheeses…

Their gyros aren’t the most beautiful things in the world. And it’s pretty hard to get a really nice, appetizing photo of a gyro. But there was so much meat on those gyros that they were also pretty difficult to pick up and eat. But they sure were delicious. Next time we have a craving for gyros, we know where to turn. 😀🥙❤️

Habañero Burrito Monday!

I brought home some delicious burritos from Habanero for us and my parents for dinner this evening. You can’t beat a Habañero $5 Burrito Monday

😀🌯❤️
