The Red Eye
Bacon at El's Kitchen Why we loved it. Ultra-thick slices of pork belly bacon are brined in house before taking a turn in that magical smoker - which incidently, is used to smoke everything from olives to salmon to the corn used in the house-made veggie burgers
Chicago Reader
El's Kitchen is a casual dining place that gets its stuff so right that you want to applaud the people that made it happen.
Red Eye
Midwestern ingredients and American comfort food rule the house of this casual lincoln park eatery across the street from the Webster Place. There's an emphasis on barbeque, so keep your eye on specialties such as smoked brisket sandwiches and baby back ribs.
