Danny’s Cafe's menu stars the half-pound fried-meatball sandwich ($6.49), a signature sub topped with fried peppers. Other dishes include homemade rigatoni with vodka sauce ($12.95), and the vesuvio steak sandwich ($10.95) on ciabatta bread.

Danny’s Cafe

Danny’s Cafe warmly serves what co-owner Carl Dote described as “Italian peasant food” on Danny’s Check, Please! feature. Their cooking aims to comfort, from generously stuffed artichokes to their signature fried-meatball sub. The hefty sandwich, highlighted on WGN, comes to fruition after staff members hand-form fresh meatball mix into patties and pile on fried peppers. Co-owner and chef Paula Dote told ABC’s “Hungry Hound” that when she and her husband bought the restaurant, she wanted to make exactly what she made at home, and indeed, she uses recipes from her mother and mother-in-law in all of her cooking and homemade volcano experiments. She ladles vodka sauce and crumbled sausage over homemade rigatoni, and layers provolone, parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta in the four-cheese lasagna. Pork neck bones, one of Danny's more unique dishes, are served twice a week and praised by Hungry Hound for the tender meatiness resulting from hours spent simmering in spiced tomatoes. The eatery has also spawned relatives—appropriately named “Cuzzin’s Cafe”—that serve similar dishes in Des Plaines and Orland Park.

The Groupon Guide to: Ice-Cream Variations

Though it's normally presented as a scoop, spiraling mound of soft-serve, or amorphous blob, there are actually infinite ways to serve ice cream:

Ice-Cream Sandwich: The ice cream is “sandwiched” between two rectangular chocolate cookies that are not available for purchase individually and do not exist outside of ice-cream sandwiches.

Ice-Cream Soup: The ice cream is served in a dish as normal but left unattended for 16 minutes (may be enjoyed with spoon or straw).

Ice-Cream Salad: In this sweet look-alike, the “salad” is replaced with pistachio ice cream, the “cherry tomatoes” are actual cherries, and the “russian dressing” is delicious russian dressing.

Have you ever tried russian dressing on ice cream? We did.
