Bites Asian Tapas

Between jobs and amidst our crazy schedules, my partner and I managed to find the time to meet each other for dinner at Bites Asian Tapas on Clark St between Buckingham Pl and School St in Lakeview.

We ordered the Crab Croquette together. It was interesting, tasty, and served on a perfect plate for sharing.



I ordered the Korean Burger, which is spicy pork, lettuce, tomatoes, egg, and bim bap sauce. I liked it a lot. It came with taro fries and a sriracha ketchup.

Harold's Chicken Shack

We recently went to the Harold's Chicken Shack on N Milwaukee Ave between Wood St and Wolcott Ave in Wicker Park. Harold's is a chain based out of Chicago.

Two of us ordered the 1/2 Dark Chicken Dinner to share. It comes with 2 legs, 2 thighs, and french fries served over white bread. We chose the mild sauce, which covered everything.

It takes about 20 minutes for them to prepare your food.

Honestly, I didn't really like it. I didn't like the sauce, and that there was so much of it. I thought the fries were plain, and the chicken was bland. Many people rave about this chicken, but I just didn't get it.
