Where can I get beignets in Chicago?
AQ_22 asked:
I would love to have some New Orleans beignets. Other than going to New Orleans are there any places in Chicago to make them? There used to be a Crescent City beignets here but they are not around in Chicago anymore.

A revamped menu brought down the prices here a bit, which is good because food is cooked fresh and the service is amiable. Also offers a touch of New Orleans with fresh beignets starting at 6 a.m. Carry-out is the norm, but the grilled char-dogs, chicken wings, burgers and fries can be eaten-in at the limited counter space.

It's a small cafe, near the "EL", easy parking, not pretentious. good for a quick beignet and coffee.
from downtown, take the "forest park" blue line and get off at oak park ave. go one block north.
I never knew that you cold find beignets in Chicago. This is one of my favorite things to eat. I will have to pick some up asap.
This is good to know. I live in Chicago and love me some New Orleans home cooking. Where are the best places to find this type of food in the city?
