    Taste Buds

    A Baltic bonanza

    Our salivating duo heads into Bridgeport for a taste of the neighborhood's Baltic past at Lithuanian Healthy Foods.

    • A taste of southern India

    • A midnight snack, vegan style

      8.17.09

      After a night out in Lakeview, the Buds stumble into the Pick Me Up Cafe to try their hands at some vegan and vegetarian dishes.

    • It's taco time in Back of the Yards

      8.13.09

      This week our hungry buddies head south in search of some quality, affordable Mexican food at the Atotolnico Taqueria in Back of the Yards.

    With so many places to eat in Chicago, it's hard to know where to go sometimes. Maybe the Taste Buds can help.

    Each week, Insider Chicago correspondents Sid Vaidyanathan and Justin Cox bring their appetites to a different Chicago restaurant. The result is a candid conversation, not about the food, but about the experience of eating.

    Have any restaurants you'd like them to check out?
