Appetizers

R.J.'s Famous Chili
$8.95

Honored in '79 as Chicago's best chili and I have been too slack to try to improve it ever since. But then, why should I? Topped with cheddar cheese and onion.

If you wan't that extra stuff on top you'll have to ask for it. As far as the oyster crackers are concerned, you'll get some whether you like it or not.

French Onion Soup
$9.5

A classic French recipe but I switched to Spanish onions because they're not as bitter, and Swiss cheese on top because it's more neutral. And it tastes better.

Two thousand years of civilization and it's all come down to this. Fried pickles. But they are so good can we all agree to just get over it?

Onion Rings
