EATING A SAUSAGE SAMMICH AFTER CLUBING >>>

A frequently asked question around the Weekly Volcano World Headquarters is, "Where, at midnight, after hitting every bar from Lakewood to North Tacoma, can we stuff our faces and thus perhaps avert a hangover of colossal proportion?"

Typically, if it's payday, we hit El Gaucho's bar for its hot wicked shrimp or penne English coastal cheddar mac 'n' cheese. If we're on Sixth Avenue, we'll stop by Asado for empanadas, Dirty Oscar's Annex for chicken and waffles or the Crown Bar for a Zihua Mushroom Quesadilla.

Opening some time this spring, A Taste of Chicago will serve Italian Sausage Sandwiches, Chicago Maxwell Street Polish dogs, pizza puffs, Windy City Steak Sandwiches and other treats branded with Chicago somewhere in Tacoma.

"We are looking at several different areas - Sixth Avenue, South Tacoma Way and downtown Tacoma," says A Taste of Chicago owner Derek Scott, a resident of Tacoma.

A Taste of Chicago recently closed its Seattle location in the University District to make the move to Tacoma.

Why?

"I live in Tacoma and as you know there aren't many spots to grab good food late at night," says Scott.

Here's a preview of A Taste of Chicago menu, as it existed in Seattle.

Please please please please PLEASE tell me they'll add real, honest-to-goodness deep-dish pizza to the menu. As a Midwesterner who moved here in 2006, I haven't had real pizza in six years. Welcome to T-Town, Taste of Chicago!

7th & St Helens would be a great spot. The building with Supernova Barber, Stink & Fudie.

ummmm you guys forgot about Frisko for "late night post-bar-crawl eats within stumbling distance". They even stay open til 3 to catch the bar crowd. For shame! also, viva le Red Hot.

Why won't anyone open a hot dog place around here using Hebrew National weiners? The Vienna Beef dogs that this place and the GOD AWFUL Red Hot use, are disgusting and have the worst texture.

I think you meant "GOD AWESOME Red Hot". Fix your typos next time. Thanks :)
