Depends what you are looking for, pizza shop type? Cafe type? Fancy? Or just good food?

good food

good food

OK there's a to go place in a gas station actually, called the Lincoln Cafe which is terrific, but like I said it's to go only. Emmas Bagel Cafe is great for sit down and solid food as well. If you're going to do a pizza place, you gotta try Tel Avivs cheddar fries.

I hear you. Emmas is cleaner and and a bit more pricey, but the food is pretty good IMO although I haven't tried the whole menu Tel Aviv is a classic Israeli run "been the same for 40 years" pizza joint.

I have since not eaten anything from there. and dont plan to ever do so. It was posted in that link but as you saw was quickly swept under the rug for some reason.
the CRC should have pulled the certification but like everything else in chicago, its all politics

Why should the CRC pull a hashgacha bec of a bad philosophy? They are there to make sure the food is kosher. I have no problem eating their if I know the food is 100% kosher. But the fact that they did this has me thinking that if they are liberal with this what is stopping them from being liberal in other ways? That is why I'm not 100 percent sure what to make of this situation. I guess I will have to consult with my LOR

While I don't disagree with most of what you said, I will still eat there. The restaurant is a non for profit, so it's not like I'm even supporting them. They have good kosher food IMO so that's all I'm concerned with.

Just a bit of background here, this restaurant is located in the heart of a  Chicago neighborhood highly populated with gays. There are gay (I'm assuming) people on staff there as well.
