CJ's features a delicious menu of classic American cuisine. There's a heavy dose of hearty Southern regional dishes like biscuits and gravy and the Sausage Breakfast Casserole. There are even a few Southwestern items like the Southwestern Breakfast Burrito: eggs, chorizo, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and queso blanco, wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with fresh salsa. But the unifying force behind CJ's menu is that it's downright satisfying comfort food. Check out the menu. Weekend brunch is CJ's specialty, but their dinner menus is also tops - especially the local favorite barbeque meatloaf tower, which the Chicago Tribune claims "at least one guy at every table orders." CJ's is only open on Saturday's & Sundays. The weekends-only thing just makes people want it even more, just like those weekends-only hospitals that have lines around the block Saturday morning.
When executive chef Toyoji Hemmi surveys the restaurant's daily deliveries of fresh seafood, he envisions how the fish can be used to create exciting, new sushi entrees instead of just the widely expected staples. Food & Wine magazine praised this dedication to inventive flavor combinations in 2005, labeling chef Hemmi an "innovator" and calling him one of its "favorite iconoclasts" in the United States.
He accentuates maki with seemingly disparate ingredients—including rosemary, walnuts, and cherry tomatoes—that add new dimensions to the rolls' familiar tastes, textures, and pronunciations. Established Japanese flavors remain at the forefront of other items though, such as the wasabi-rubbed filet mignon and the organic cha-soba noodles. This distinctive interplay between contemporary and traditional approaches helped to earn the menu a score of "very good to excellent" from Zagat.
The dining room's vaguely industrial setting also toes the line between contemporary and historic, featuring rustic brick walls and exposed wooden rafters as well as chic, low-slung chairs and modern track lighting. Diners can peek behind the stone-countered sushi bar and watch the chefs assemble platters of maki and nigiri, or join the bartenders, who pass their evenings pouring tastes of sake and shochu.
State's main courses average around $17, and their drink selection is extensive, so whether you feed 2-3 people with your Groupon or go nuts on desserts and drinks for yourself, you're getting some serious value. State's nice wood interior, candles, and tall, circular booths combined with their flat-screen TVs showing both sports games and digital art, create an upscale supper club-meets-sports bar atmosphere. The cuisine is mostly American with some Asian and Italian highlights. Enjoy a high definition football games in style with a bacon-mozzarella burger or a cornmeal-crusted grouper fish over leeks. At night enjoy a bumpin' club atmosphere. Dress sharp & impress everyone on the floor with your remarkable Groupon value, downing 57% more appetizers and cocktails than everyone around you - while paying the same price!
At Manny's Cafeteria and Delicatessen, fourth-generation Raskins work alongside their parents to maintain their family's legacy of crafting homestyle Jewish-American fare for more than half a century. Within a classic cafeteria setting decorated with news clippings, photos, and thumb-wrestling second graders, chefs draw from practiced recipes for matzo-ball soup, house-made chocolate phosphates, chewy latke, and sandwiches lauded by Time Out Chicago. Manny's famous corned beef, piled with three-quarters of a pound of juicy brisket, woos tongues without writing a love poem in chocolate sauce.
