There Has To Be A Winner and A Loser...

So went to another indy wrestling show last night with one of my best friends Nora at 115 Bourbon Street in Marionette Park, IL. That place is pretty massive or as they describe themselves "the Southside's largest entertainment complex".  That being said there's like a restaurant, multiple bars, patio area, etc. You would think "hey they do good business the food must be decent". Fake News. Not True. Sad. (insert air horns here). Having done a trial and error eating at the restaurant with the Suntan Superman Darren (#shoutoutstoDarren) this is not the case. That being said decided we were going to eat after the show but needed something to hold us over. Nora bought some "nachos". Now I didn't take a picture but that was some sad stuff. They apparently ran out of jalapenos and was just generic "cheese". I suppose it did the job but for a giant entertainment complex to not even compete with lame movie theaters.

Carne Asada Tacos

My addiction: Spicy carrots/onions. A good sign the place is legit.

Rest assure that the followup stop was well worth the wait. If you guessed tacos, then give yourself a prize. We hit up El Faro in Summit, IL which is a 24 hour Mexican restaurant. This is the second time I’ve been to this joint and must say it’s 2 for 2 record wise. Kind of a hole in the wall which is a good sign in my world. I will say though their steak tacos (my number #1 food choice of all time) are phenomenal.

Guess I never paid attention to the awning but apparently its "The House of the Giant Steak Burritos". I will say though their steak tacos (my number #1 food choice of all time) are phenomenal. So if you’re ever in the area- maybe flying in from Midway or for whatever reason on the South/Southwest side of the season I’d highly recommend.

So after a long night and a couple hours of sleep, turned out was just going to be me and Lily for  hanging out on Saturday. That being said she had said the day before she wanted to go to Steak N Shake. She brought it up again that morning. I for one do not not like Steak N Shake at all. Karen and Lily love it which typically they go on their own or meet up with whoever minus myself. I tried my hardest to change her mind and she was having none of it. Probably bad parenting but whatever I’m typically leave food options to whoever I’m hanging with. #GuestRites

Lily's Cookie Dough Milkshake

Kid's Hot Dog Meal

My choice of Chili Dog Meal

 I'm fairly certain the only notable menu item I don't mind is the Frisco Melt from Steak N Shake but was feeling adventurous. Now that I think about it that might be the only thing Karen orders. Not sure if Lily switches up her choices or not. I ended up trading half of the Chili Dog to her and she liked it. So maybe she'll pick it next time? Who knows? That being said probably the best thing I had there was a coke.  I mean the place might be better than 115 Bourbon Street but that's some low standards there. Sorry Steak N Shake lovers but this place doesn't appear like it'll win me over. It was a valiant effort (not really) but hey Lily loved it so that's all that matters.
