re: Crazy Johnnie's Coming Back

I only ate there a handful of times but did enjoy it for what it was.

One place I'd love to see reopen is Carmine's. The first site I ate at was out by the lake in Bucktown but that one closed down. They reopened on Vets and the wife and I would eat there 3-4 times a year.

They had a great appetizer in the seafood stuffed artichoke that was a big steamed artichoke filled with shrimp, oysters, fish and covered in a creamy dill sauce that was to die for.

First time I ever ate at Carmine's I ordered the stuffed artichoke appetizer and an entree. By the time my date and I were finished with the artichoke there was no room left for the entree.
