CUSTOM CHI-TOWN VANS

Pair of custom VANS (White VANS) “OFF THE WALL” with the Chicago skyline on the front and the Chicago logo on the back.

I really liked wearing these, but they did not last. I used the wrong type of paint, and after a while it began to crack and chip. Too bad…

Review:

Mr. Greek’s Italian Beef is among the biggest in the city. It was so big that I was forced to tackle it with a fork after failing to get the entire thing in my mouth and not on my face. After eating more than half the beef, it finally became the same size as many of the other Italian Beefs. Overall, it was good and more than satisfying. The only thing missing was a little extra kick in flavor, but that’s just a personal preference.

Review:

Blackie’s burgers are big, but lacking in flavor. I should have ordered extra-well-done to bring them out of the beef a little more. Also, I didn’t choose the best toppings. I’m not a fan of mayo on a burger, but I think that mayo would have really complemented the olives. Finally, cheddar wasn’t the best choice of cheese here. Provolone or Swiss would have definitely made this burger better. As it was, this burger was at best so-so. On a side note, the coleslaw was actually quite good.
