Welcome to, The Usual Please. I'm a pretty particular eater. Always have been. My kids are particular too, and I know many of you out there are as well. I am also an architect who works from home giving me a relatively flexible schedule. I'll be sharing pictures and reviews of our local eateries in East Lakeview, Chicago, and also adding more places beyond the neighborhood as I go. 

But, don't expect me to review everything on the menu. When I like a place, I stick to a few items and that's what we'll be reviewing. Very rarely do you find a restaurant that is great at everything. If you are looking for that, check out a different blog. 

Because I tend to order

THE USUAL.
