INSANE ITALIAN PASTA DINNER, WE WERE MINDBLOWN! (EATIOTS Food Show S2 E5)

Daisies we’re at daisies in uh Logan Square uh north side of the city this place has moved locations since and they moved into a larger space this used to be a German beer hall but it it is now home to all the projects that they have they’re very ambitious with their pasta

Program here they’re known for really fresh produce because Chef’s family owns a farm it’s called fman Farms they do amazing things with uh seasonal ingredients so everything on here it it’s bound to change over the seasons and their pass the game is alltime high let the show begin from daisies this is

Our smoke trout R from R and then our house made chips and onion dip make get these GL oo that’s a Hardy that’s a Hardy portion fire ridiculous this take on Ruffles and and and onion dip I am so happy about it yeah I am so

Peaches incredible right oh my God everything Stone fruits and season right now that peach is incredible again having access to a farm definitely helps and change the game that’s an incredible dish all right cucumbers smash cucumbers bacata radish uh Green Goddess dressing underneath poppy seed over the top [ __ ] love vegetables good that’s insane it’s good that’s what we like uh more vegetables right yeah pickled and raw zucchini uh raw zucchini is shaved we’ve got uh black olive vinegret pistachio [ __ ] Christ thank you that’s [ __ ] up that is [ __ ] up why what’s [ __ ] up about it try it all

Going to be really rich you eat it and then there’s like this nice brightness to it this is incredible choc po ravioli sweet corn fermented Peppers white cheddar enjoy thank you you don’t have to be a foodie to enjoy this type of food what you need to be is adventurous because if

You’re willing to just go out of your comfort zone you might land in a place that you never thought that you could and you would be happier for it because not only would you have gr as a person getting out of your old habits of eating just a plain old Plano and getting

Into just artistic dishes put together with so much thought that you can’t do anything else but be thankful for it as I am tonight great [ __ ] food I a idiot for not coming here sooner I’m going to try without the jalapeno first what dude the

[ __ ] the [ __ ] that is so [ __ ] up this is like an aote [ __ ] pasta so spaghetti Alara Sugo peino so the Kara that Che was explaining it’s like this stringed uh it’s like this stringed box the idea is that you take your pot the dough lay it over these strings take

A rolling pin and roll it out until it creates this this texture this uh this shape it looks like spaghetti but it’s not quite spaghetti it’s not quite Linguini it creates its own shape the texture is [ __ ] perfect my God it’s nothing like anything else like

You can’t it has to be fresh pasta it’s all fresh pasta so delicious wow I do you know maybe if they had that Olive Garden guy that can come around with the cheese though a gorgeous gorgeous pasta this is what I meant this is what I this is

Exactly what I was hoping to get the paperell mushroom Ru been on since day one and rigatoni fermented mushroom and duya so I know it’s not a Italian restaurant but I knew that they would have the red sauces it’s reminiscent of thank you so much it’s reminiscent of

Italian dishes you know but like it doesn’t have to be chicken FM it doesn’t have to be spaghetti with meatballs it could be this and as long as a p is prepared well who [ __ ] cares right if it’s Italian or not oh my God that’s that’s phenomenal

But it’s so [ __ ] up that something so delicious like this and I mean it it’s like a a 10 out of 10 incredible [ __ ] dish and how it Pals in comparison to the [ __ ] flavor bomb that you experience when you eat these things what that’s the Uya in there man that

Fermented sausage and the fermented uh tomatoes out of control out of control this is the [ __ ] showstopper wow this in the in the in the zucchini dish all of it [ __ ] it’s a vinegret you can put it on [ __ ] anything like black it’s a black olive vinegret so good told you

The olives I made it that it gave it that meaty well it’s always like you’re constantly looking how do you get people to eat their vegetables pack it with Umami pack it with you know animal fats Umami olives salt brine um butter um and that’s basically it it’s

Like yeah the the focal point is the vegetable but a lot of it is based upon like how do you get people to Crave that um so it’s healthyish I don’t know thank you Chef uh half chicken cab and vinegarette broccolini oh and then real lemon real

Lemon it is so lemony it is incredible hey is it lemon it is incredible right wao and you get the Char flavor oh my God that is a perfectly cooked chicken perfectly cooked that is a perfectly cooked chicken can’t believe it you’re telling me that people are having

Trouble losing weight in Chicago having a restaurant like this around oh my god oh you guys are about to close right um do we want do we want a bite of dessert or no come on man yeah what kind of question is that only one yes thank you oh you were just

Tomorrow we’re not coming back here tomorrow why we already ate here you only have one moment one opportunity to capture it I love sweets man I love sweets this one is ridiculous yeah you me over this yeah it’s like crumble apple pie it’s like apple pie but the breading is a

Quant and then I know that’s sorbet though dude oh my God oh my God try with the cookie you’re [ __ ] up we’re all about up to here and with food yeah um we don’t want to purge and throw up on camera so we’ll just say good night and looking forward to tomorrow

We are on the street Uhhuh FES hot and spicy on Lincoln Avenue it’s Side Restaurant my Favorite it’s one of my favorite lunch spots even dinner uh I eat here a couple times a month at least what’s your favorite thing to get here my favorite thing is the pr Ram Wrong song The what number 36 a it’s it’s like oh my you know it’s

Good cuz look at they do the at the length of it in horizontal I think I had like a food hangover this morning the food was so good yesterday a food high dude yeah I literally have been kicking myself I was telling SOI I’m like I can’t believe it

Then my my other buddy told me to go here he’s just like and he’s like all about the past sh any of the good POS that I uh he he’s one of the dudes that have put me on to like a lot of good spots and he was telling me you should go

There you should go there I’m like [ __ ] that place you know wait why what was the appr I just I don’t know I just turned my nose up to it like an idiot and man was I wrong they taught you a lesson last I got taught a lesson night

I I got the best I I’ve decided overnight because I too was thinking about it it is probably the best best past I’ve ever had in my life they do a good job there that one specific one the ratoni with the crumble I can only imagine with what a couple of Flakes a

Dash of of of red pepper flakes I picture Merlin as he’s cooking in that big [ __ ] tub open fire just a dash of it just like magic sprinkles it glistens in the air boom boom boom I would agree do you guys know what you want to get here yeah we’ll do

The the pot stickers the uh spring roll uh the papaya salad uh let’s go medium spice and then I’m going to do the uh can we do a tofu pimu uh we do PR song can we do uh fried rice mild plus shrimp and beef okay and a py you yeah I think

That’s good thank you so much a lot of carrots the tankiness of the sweet with the sweet s thank you God wow pot stickers that look like imp bananas are you kidding me are you uh Shredded Green Papaya Tomatoes peanuts green beans a light vinegarette they use a Mor pestel to

Kind of do all the pounding and tenderizing the papaya cuz it’s uh it’s it’s raw green so kind of breaking down the fibers in the moral and pestl and it has this really nice roundness with the vinegret it tricks your brain into thinking that you’re eating noodles because it looks

Like it but once you bite into it you can immediately tell that it’s a vegetable or a fruit and the carrots as I said I mean that my favorite thing is citrusy and it’s got a little bit of spice oh my God okay that’s that should not taste the

Way it tastes like a spicy peanut sauce okay baby corn broccoli um Sprouts carrots I don’t know greens of some sort over white rice that looks fantastic thank you a pimo wow another noodle dish I would not touch that with your hands oh [ __ ] you’re right just you can smell

It it’s going to open you up dude spicy but it’s good yes it is it really does complement the food really well M these [ __ ] noodles are Godlike Godlike I mean all the food groups are here except for the dairy and it’s just it’s an incredibly Savory dish it has a nice aftertaste

Um it’s it’s very Thai wow and it’s very delicious I will say that this is like a perfect lunch just you know going from the small appetizer dishes to like the heavier kind of like it’s almost like comfort food in a sense everything’s very comforting all right well let’s uh

Settle up let’s pay this bill and let’s go get some burgers and some hot dogs with some peppers that are deal bars What we’re at uh red hot Ranch uh the West Lake View location they have they’re known to have some of the best uh smashed cheeseburgers like quick smash cheeseburgers they’ve quickly become a Chicago Classic for their depression style hot dogs their Smash Burgers it’s

Kind of it was like a like a best kept secret for a while but then a lot of publication started writing on them and um yeah they’ve they’ve uh gained a lot of popularity a lot of momentum and and they just have a solid product it’s fast

Food but it’s they give a [ __ ] it’s nice and for a day like this why not have a cheeseburger you can see the wetness of the paper it’s not water that is pure grease in the best possible way the fresh cut fries steamed bun oh yeah so depression style right you see your

Sport Peppers you see your onions see your mustard if some of the fries happen to get into your bite so be it right it only adds to everything and then this thing weighs about half a pound which is out of control but is a classic Smash Burger we got the

Double the lettuce is on there for decoration at this point they got their own secret sauce tomato pickles onions stick your fingers Between the Buns while or the the patties while you’re doing that he went like this to to remove the the fries from here he went like this put his

Whole hand in there and then is this my water yes whose water is this that was a good burger excuse me part of my reach I mean this is just one bite right that a good burger I’m nor one I don’t remember tasting this good right

Yep I think it’s even better than it was before delicious this is the best one oh my God after you hect there this is for me that’s for me indeed look at this thing I could probably do without the onions but the snap on that dog right the

Casing this is the best burger I’ve had ever it is crazy Burger is modeled after in and out like how they build it like what their build is and their processing mean it’s its own thing it tastes different than In-N-Out but it’s yeah has In-N-Out Vibes it’s pretty [ __ ] good mhm

Regardless but yeah I mean it’s a it’s a quick spot it’s uh you know Mike and I were talking about our late night escapades uh on our way home stopping at a red hot Ranch back in a day to kind of soak up all the alcohol or uh non-alcohol beverages that we may

Have consumed and it it used to be open late night pre pandemic obviously the pandemic changed a lot of things so they close at normal times but I remember coming here at like 2: in the morning wilding out people were wild in here just wasted out of their minds um all

Right so what do we got left what what do we have going on for the rest of the day uh Joe’s Pizzeria and Wheeling Hector’s Hometown it’s time for me to give you the tour of Tours I grew up in the next ones in the condos right after right in between these apartments right here this bottom right one right here next to that door to the right that right there that’s me boom 1993 to like 1999 that’s my door right there that guy’s entering through my door

Cemetery the W the walls you seem so much taller back then um since 1993 I have uh been having pizza here at Joe’s Pizzeria since 1993 before there was a Jiffy Lube right here um before the kamachos move moved out moved into this area like this whole this whole place

Was my playground lollipop is the name of this park where the first courts that I ever played basketball been uh here in in uh in Wheeling the second one was obviously the one across the the thing but anyway Joel Pizzeria excellent pizza but also it has excellent sides right

Like burgers BRS all the above let’s Go I feel like the pizza that you serve here can stand up to any Tavern style pizza in Chicago so why did you choose Wheeling of all places we’ve been here for uh my dad and his uh Partners started in ‘ 66 so we’ve been here for uh 57 years

Wow and it was just like a family thing uh family tradition thing yeah my dad and his partner started it now me and Rich got it work for us for years he he bought out my dad that’s awesome and and then uh we’ve been going at it now for

I’ve been doing it about 43 years Rich about the same that’s a long time that’s a lot of dough I’ll start should I just start sending on stop when I can get it the second is in yes please sounds great thank you that’s beauty that is beautiful

Yeah I think we’re good thank you so much so you see the the crosssection you got a good supportive bottom here see how thin the crust is it holds all the stuff all the stuff is is held so hot what’s up you didn’t even [ __ ] try it before you [ __ ] drowned it in

[ __ ] it’s a [ __ ] pizza man what do you mean bro you’re going to you’re you’re going to burn yourself you’re going to have to hit it with that again pepperoni and jalapeno holds all the sauce everything good bottom good color great pizza tastes like home it’s very good it’s kind of a cross

Between yeah it’s not quite as thin but it’s not quite as thick yeah yeah yeah I like it it’s not as crunchy either it’s like right in between yeah that a crust is perfect honestly I really like their crust I do too I didn’t want to say it but if it’s in

Between two extremes she dialed in just don’t want to burn the roof of my mouth and then be popped for the rest of the evening you know that’s the most common thing at of your MTH you can’t stop eating it even if it’s hot it’s true it’s true oh my

God don’t ever eat it when you’re drunk because you wake up in the morning with a big blister there’s definitely some [ __ ] that I would do 100% solid uh sausage on this thing yeah yeah it’s great sausage I like the I like this particularly thin cut right in the finger

Yep roof mouth burned this travels so well and it’s available on door Dash if you if you’re around here dude it’s the it’s the biggest cheat coat ever well he’s he you you heard him he just he just said you’re Half Baked already so you could get it halfway to part cooked

And then take it home and finish it oh my God that was that not was that not beautiful that was a beautiful pole yeah I got to say man great classic flavors it reminds me you know in a way I never been here but eating the eating

This reminds me of gr from the north side in some weird way you know what I mean we are like we’re parallel to the north side Northwest suburbs right so for me has always been the Difference Maker the marinara sauce I don’t know what it is that the jalapenos that they

Picked also are perfect for pizza I don’t know what they are have never asked we’ll probably ask before I leave I remember moving here in 1993 and across the street from where we where we are right now over there where I pointed to my condo across the street

From there was a Pizza Hut so for like the first call like six months we would we would order pizza from Pizza Hut and then I think it was my cousin uh Jose Pepe super cool love my my cousin he said yo you should try Joe’s Joe is [ __ ] fire right there

And we’re like Joe and you know like the concept of a neighborhood pizza was not a thing for us right it’s for to immigr isn’t it oh so how’s everything oh my God it’s just just incredible incred incredible as us usual yeah and you said you’ve been a longtime

Customer so we yeah since 1993 okay we moved uh my family and I moved here since ‘ 93 I went to Home Junior High School graduated from Wheeling in 1997 yeah so good I mean we we order every time I’m in town I order from here

Every time every time I don’t miss out I never miss it never yeah no delicious marineras even if you’re not in the area this is a destination spot you should [ __ ] drive out here cuz this [ __ ] is worth the trip no matter where you’re at

In the in the city I think this holds this holds up against any [ __ ] Tavern style pizza in Chicago as well it’s Fantastic oh man what a success so good every Time I think I’m going to do a hand scooped ice cream can you give me a vanilla ice cream cone small let’s go small can I please have can I make my own suay yeah the single or double double please double if you want the regular vanilla
