Gastropub is Not an Illness
The Tribune's Good Eats section has an interesting article about gastropubs, a pub or bar that specializes in high-quality food rather than standard bar fare. Many are familiar with gastropubs; if you have ever been to a Gapers Block gathering at the Hopleaf you know what;s going on, even if Hopleaf doesn't care for the term. The article also includes some recipes from a few of the gastropubs in Chicago, such as Cooper's “Flank steak with mashers and green peppercorn sauce” and BB's “Pork shanks with sausages and 'kraut.” And if that's not enough, some beer paring suggestions for restaurant dishes and your own meals.
