I can't wait to go back to Michael Symon's B Spot.

Before my good friend and former roommate moved to Chicago at the end of February, I asked where she wanted to go that she wouldn't get to go to in the Windy City. She picked the Iron Chef's burger joint, and I am soooooooo glad she did.

I can't wait to go back.

I don't know if I can say anything about the place that correspondent Mark Koestner didn't already say in his Dining Out review. I had a lot of trouble deciding what to order because it all sounded so sinfully good, and everything was greasy and great.

One thing Koestner didn't mention that I recommend everyone try is the chips, which are cooked fresh and served warm with Parmesan fondue and rosemary. Our server recommended them over the fries when my friend and I tried to decide what side to get to split. The plate of chips is more than big enough for two, and you'll probably end up eating more than you intend to.

I can't wait to go back.

I've ventured down to Beachwood to eat at P.F. Chang's twice in the past several months and have really enjoyed it both times. The staff has always been knowledgeable, and the menu fairly extensive in the variety of dishes available. I usually prefer the intimacy of a booth when I dine, but even sitting at a table in the middle of the dining room, I felt like I was at my own private meal.

My only real complaint about the place is the lack of vegetables in all of the meat dishes. If the dish doesn't specifically mention vegetables, it does not have vegetables. I was kind of shocked when I discovered this on my first visit, but now that I know I'm not necessarily going to get a full serving of greens, I can plan accordingly.

Where do you like to get Chinese food?
