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

    Readers' choice

    HERE, KITTY Fat Cat’s sign lures drinkers like moths to flaming booze.
    Photo: Mireya Acierto

    Best New Bar
    Fat Cat

    Other nominees: the Burlington, D4, the Orbit Room, Scarlet, Violet Hour, Wilde Bar & Restaurant

    Large, wide booths, dark wood tables and chairs, and a blinking red sign outside give Fat Cat the vibe of an old-school supper club, but the menu reads like one from a classic bar and grill—with a twist. A burger gets a goofy topping of Velveeta cheese and black-bean dip comes with layers of pico de gallo and cheddar cheese on top (“south of the border meets mid-west potluck” explains the menu). The drink menu works the same high-low concept, with selections ranging from Miller to Unibroue. 4840 N Broadway, 773-506-3100.

      Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now. What are you folks thinking?
