For about a month I have been true with my New Years Resolution. My goal was to cut out fries from my diet to ultimately get ready for bikini season. Yet, I was introduced to the BEST sweet potato fries in the city.
John’s Place is a local favorite. The original restaurant is located on Webster and Racine and has been getting rave reviews since it opened in 1994. John’s Place is best known for their Brunch. However, all of there lunch and dinner options are excellent.
I am not a stranger to John’s Place… just their sweet potato fries. I met some of my girlfriends for lunch on a bitter cold Sunday afternoon. Trying to keep with my “diet” I got the John’s Chicken Chopped Salad, which consisted of grilled chicken, dried cherries, roasted corn, bacon, goat cheese and tahini dressing. It was delectable and I am proud to say I finished the whole thing.
My girlfriends on the other hand both got the Turkey burger with a side of sweet potato fries. They offered me some fries. Instead of saying, “I can’t it’s my new years resolution not to eat fries” I gladly accepted. Boy, am I glad I had them. They were wonderful! Not too crispy or too oily. They were perfect.
I highly recommend John’s Place in Lincoln Park, however don’t worry if you are not in the Lincoln Park area. Another John’s Place opened up in Roscoe Village. Check it out!
