Fernandina Beach: Big on shrimp

Scouting the gems of San Juan
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — This island offers so many visual treats — gorgeous beaches, rugged hills, beautiful churches and majestic historic forts — that dining becomes a virtual afterthought. A hunk of meat or fish, some sides of mofongo...

Discussing gay marriage on the second date
From the well-lighted Argentine restaurant — my suggestion via Yelp — to the 70-degree night, all is well on this second date. As Dylan tactfully yanks shrimp from their shells, he tells me about his Japanese father, who strictly regulated all...Tags: Proposition 8 (California, 2010), Same-Sex Marriage, Gays and Lesbians, Matthew Shepard, Marriage

Review: Han 202
The best dining deal in Chicago can be found, every day, at a tiny Bridgeport storefront called Han 202, where chef/partner Guan Chen offers a five-course menu for $20.No, not $20 per course.

The restaurant's pedigree suggests that would be an error. Fogon is...Tags: WGN, Mangos, Europe, Pilsen, Foods and Beverages

Mercadito's cuisine undermined by miscues
Tribune criticMercadito is never going to be an outstanding restaurant, but it has the potential to be pretty darn good.
