Chicago Bites - Restaurant Reviews & Dining Podcast

The house special burger comes with a nice slice of brie.

We stopped by the Rockit Bar & GrillIs to judge how hard tourists should work to find a good burger. Does Rockit stand on its own or do other places rock harder? Tune in and find out.

The lobster burger was voted one of their best in 2007, but we found the texture to be odd.

Three seafood salad at Dublin's

Welcome Time Out Chicago readers!

Time Out's Tim Lowery (pictured below) recently joined us for dinner and a podcast! Great fun!

We went to Dublin's, a riotous Irish pub in the Gold Coast neighborhood. It was particularly riotous the night we went. So if you actually want to chat while you eat... sit outside! The patio area can't be beat, and you'll have no shortage of eye candy as you chow down on your burger or salad.

Let us know what you think of Dublin's, and check out Tim's take.
