Hit the Bricks!

Ever since the Monz introduced us to Brother "The truth doesn't hurt, it's the lie that hurts, though I will admit the truth sometimes has a bit of a sting to it" Jed, the editors live by a creed of bracing honesty. Thus we have to tell you that today was one of those rare ocassions where our lunch outdid the Monz. Monz takes an enjoyable if not thrilling trip to Kong's for ma po tofu and a small hot and sour soup. Meanwhile, the editors trek to the far west border of Chicago and visit the Brickyards shopping center to see if the highly touted as the best damn fast food chicken in the Latino world lives up to its billing. It does, more or less! Crunchy, tender, juicy, unusual and yummy sides, festive music, and unlike upon it's opening we didn't have to wait for hours to get in! And they have a drive-through! We expect our number of low-rider sightings to sharply increase come next summer. Monz, you already like (or are) Mexican food, we think you should go there!
