The Brown Sack/Weegee's 1-2 has been covered:
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=16177&hilit=weegeesI've also done 1-2 of Friday fish fry at the North Riverside VFW hall and crossed the street for cocktails at Chef Shangri-La (I have a real soft spot for VFW hall fish fries). The chef at North Riverside has a deft hand w/the fryer and I like the fish/shrimp combo. I've been there a few times, and am tempted to bring my own lemon slices, since they only have bottled lemon juice. They also have specials like beef 'n' noodles, but they're always sold out before I get there. There's also table of homebaked treats. Sitting at the bar at Chef Shangri-La is fun, although mixing vodka and rum with the beer and "house wine" from the VFW is probably not a good idea. It can get kind of crowded later in the evening, and the air hangs heavy with Axe cologne, glitter makeup, and desparation. Awesome people watching!

Disclosure: I rent the Brown Sack's kitchen during pig rig season, and they occasionally sell my pulled pork and chili. But I did the 1-2 before that relationship started.
