Tonight a few of us ventured over to Wicker Park's Handlebar restaurant on North Avenue. It's vegan friendly and serves fish and cheese for the vegetarian friendly food goers as well! It's a cute, tiny, and unassuming little restaurant with a lot of personality. It's "dive" feeling, and clearly makes the point that the food is the focus (much like The Chicago Diner). And as it should be, because the food is fantastic! But, it must be warned, it is SPICY!
I had the Sambal Tofu entree, and wowza! My tongue was on fire! Whatever spices were in that puppy turned the spicy nob WAY way up! The Po' Boy sandwich was also spicy and the sauce for the fried avocado tacos echoed the same tune. Delicious food, but not for the so-so tongue.
The prices are great, the portions are fantastic, and the food is amazing. Overall, a definite "must". (Especially for Breakfast!)
