Wishbone is also the name of a wonderful
cajun/southern
home cookin' restaurant in
Chicago. It started as one small hole in the wall on
Grand Avenue and has expanded to become a small chain of two large venues. One is located in
River West and the other in
Roscoe Village; both popular and somewhat
upscale neighborhoods.
The restaurant features a very tasty menu of flavorful entrees and two side dishes chosen from an extremely extensive list of choices. There is also a daily insert of specials, all you can eat
cornbread muffins and a full bar. All the food is authentically cajun or southern, soul-esque in nature but painstakingly spruced up to have a more modern,
urban taste I might go so far as to call '
gourmet'.
They are availble for private parties, large-scale reservations and catering, so my mother uses them for almost all her
entertaining needs unless she is doing the cooking herself. The River West location is very convenient to
downtown; the fare is relatively inexpensive.
I give it 3 and a half forks out of 4. Enjoy!
