Cheap Thrill

By CHRIS SHERMAN

© St. Petersburg Times, published September 28, 2000


When you want good food at bargain prices, you don't worry about fancy service or atmosphere. Chris Sherman designates his favorites where you can eat happily for $10 or less as Cheap Thrills.

Chicago Grill and Dog House

Is there a better city than Chicago for food that puts fire, spice and fun into everyday life? If you miss those three-napkin meals of all manner of sausages, tamales, cheesecake, Italian beef and pastrami on rye, and America's best-dressed hot dog, this is da place. There's no pizza, but it's got Scala's, Vienna, Best's Kosher and Eli's goods and all the Chicagoana that a Daley or a Jordan could want. 7733 Ulmerton Road, Largo; (727) 524-1146.
