Getting lunch for 20 hungry cops who have been riding around in the freezing Chicago winter or blistering summer heat requires a remarkable degree of diplomacy, grit and street savvy. Seriously, these folks are armed! They're out there putting their lives on the line hour by hour; and when their stomachs are growling, they're not calling for a Big Mac. They want real food--good food--the kind of food that makes them forget about the mean streets of Chi-Town for half an hour. They want Italian beefs, stuffed pizza, and catfish nuggets; they want ribs, red hots and pulled pork sandwiches. Some even want salads.

Sgt. Hayne’s no chef, food writer, or restaurateur. A former marine, Sgt. Haynes has spent the past 15 years dodging bullets and chasing down gang bangers on the city's West Side, running Chicago's first ever Homeland Security Task Force, and supervising squads in the 19th District at Belmont and Western. During those years, one of his most daunting tasks--and indeed one of the most important ones--was to get lunch.

Christopher Garlington lives in Chicago in a standard two kids, wife, dog, corner-lot American dream package. He drives a 2003 Camry, sports a considerable notebook fetish, and smokes Arturo Fuente Partaga Maduros as often as possible. His column in Chicago Parent Magazine won a PMA award for best humor writing, 2011; he is the blogger behind the infamous parenting blog: Death By Children and the mind behind the pop-up sensation, “Eating Vincent Price”.

This program is hosted by the Chicago Foodways Roundtable. To reserve, please call (847) 432-8255, then leave your name, telephone number and how many people in your party or e-mail: chicago.foodways.roundtable@gmail.com

Hi,

If you need any inspiration to attend this program, you may want to read Mike Gebert's interview with Chris Garlington.

I will bring my copy of Vincent Price's cookbook for people to thumb through.

Regards,

This was a tremendously entertaining program. These guys are hilarious, but also informative -- and a lot of what they said resonated with the room full of foodies in attendance. Great fun. Thanks, C2.

Jonathon Brandmeier talks to cops to find out where to eat

Jonathon Brandmeier is joined in studio by Sergeant David J. Haynes and Christopher 'Bull' Garlington. Sgt. Haynes and Bull wrote a book titled: 'The Beat Cop's Guide to Chicago Eats.' The book is filled with the best places to grab a bite to eat with a particular criteria. Since police officers contributed to the book, it makes sure to only have places where you can be in and out in under a half-hour and for less than $10. Johnny B talks to them about where to find the best sub sandwich and about some hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
