Leghorn’s: Chicago’s Best Chicken

At the corner of Ohio and LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago, you’ll find the Ohio House Motel.  But adjacent to this old-fashioned motel in the city is one heckuva chicken joint where you can fill up on some of the best southern-style chicken and biscuits.  The chicken is served on flaky, buttery biscuits that are amazing even by themselves.  But pair this...

One of the most delicious comfort foods in England is Bangers and Mash.  To be more specific, it is a plate of Cumberland sausage and mashed potatoes.  Cumberland sausage is a pork sausage, usually seasoned with black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, sage, sugar, and other spices.  The sausage’s namesake comes from the ancient county of Cumberland, England, which...
