    • What, you didn’t believe me yesterday when I said the indie film world is having a rough year? Okay, how about the layoffs today at Paramount Vantage, the indie label for Paramount,...

    Time Out Chicago / Issue 162 : Apr 3–9, 2008
    2008 Eat Out Awards

    Critics' picks

    The Thinking Outside the (Cereal) Box Award
    Al Khayameih

    While we can get huevos almost anywhere these days, and a breakfast of croissants and lattes can be had at 7-Eleven, the Middle Eastern breakfast has yet to enter the city’s culinary vernacular. But Al Khayameih’s morning goods aren’t just notable because they’re an anomaly; they’re also addictively delicious. Yes, the traditional lineup of foul (fava beans delicately simmered in olive oil and lemon), labneh (thick, unsweetened yogurt with mint and olive oil) and “Lebanese eggs” (spiked with parsley, lemon and traditional Lebanese spices) may not be anything like your current morning repertoire. But one visit and they soon will be. 4748 N Kedzie Ave, 773-583-0999.

      Good grief... no simple list of all the winners? I'm supposed to click through one at a time? previous writer nailed it: there isn't enough time in my life.

      We live in the south suburbs and are looking for somewhere "new" to go to for our anniversary. What do you think of this restaurant, and is it worth the trip? Thank you. We are going tomorrow eve.

      I agree that trying to read this article is the pits on this new site. Very slow to load, and that's especially annoying when there's only one paragraph per page. Big thumbs down.

      The new beta site.. yuk! There isn't enough time in my life to view your articles one at a time. And I have a fast internet connection. On a smartphone forget about it. The search engine went from terrible to horrendous, and I was just getting started on figure it out.
