Medici

For you Hyde Parkers, Medici isn't anything extraordinary. But if you are visiting Chicago from elsewhere and wind up in Hyde Park, Medici is one of the places I'd suggest. My parents were in town last weekend and I took them there. With a menu that appeals to a broad audience, it's a good pick for a party with a range of food tastes. And you can bring your own beer! Or wine!

Although I usually order a hamburger (their hamburgers are oh-so-tasty), I thought I'd try something a little bit different and go with the salmon burger. Boy am I glad that I did. Not only was it a slightly healthier choice then the traditional hamburger, but it was cooked just the way I liked it and topped with a HUGE scoop of tasty guacamole. Heaven. The only mistake I made was to order the potato salad instead of the fries...not that the potato salad was bad but...next time I'll stick with the french fries.

So if you happen to wind up near Hyde Park, or are looking for something new to order at Medici---check this one out.

P.S. I'm not trying to get political, but Obama eats here. You can even buy a t-shirt that tells you so. I couldn't convince my father to purchase it, however...
