I like that Ubering takes me to new places, which means close to unique restaurants. It is almost a good excuse to drive. If I find myself hungry, which is every few minutes, I can hop on my Around Me app and see what restaurants are around me. The TV Food Maps app can also direct me to joints featured on the various food channel shows. Today it was a hotdog at Henry's near Cicero, Illinios. Al Capone!! If you notice below, credit cards are welcome. But not Jews. OK, kidding about the Jews thing.
I also passed the Chicago 16-Inch Softball Hall of Fame building in Oak Park on Harrison Street. Who knew? I do remember living in Pennsylvania ( Media ) and getting to listen to my P.E. teacher introduce us to the sport "poplular in Chicago." It is real, beacause it has a website: http://16inchsoftballhof.com/
Speaking of restaurants and sports, my last ride brought me to the Bridgeport neighborhood, where the White Sox play. Hungry enough, I stopped at a typical Maxwell Street Polish joint where you order on the street and eat at the metal counter outside if you so wish. The older gentleman next to me said "blewchkle", which must have meant "salt" as he passed me the salt. Then he said "blewchle", which must have meant "ketsup." I wish I could have taken a picture as he set his teeth on the metal counter and enjoyed his meal next to me. Nice fella.
