Don't try any funny business at Donna's Cafe (1255 S. State St.; 312-461-1005), where the namesake Donna put in 25 years with the Chicago police, patrolling the streets of Englewood. . . .
Homemade meat loaf, pulled pork, and hand-carved turkey sandwiches will be on
offer at the cafeteria-style TLC (424 S. Wabash Ave.; 312-880-0818), a sister restaurant to Chicago Carry Out. Target opening date is February 15th.
Most avid Slooping followers knew the tidbit about Donna's, but the news about TLC is encouraging. Hope it's a good place...
Why didn't she open this business in bronzeville by IIT? I've been reading this blog for sometime now and I can tell she won't survive. The standards/expectations for the south loop is impossibly high for someone like her. She should have started off small in bronzeville and then launched to the south loop. Shes a beginner, she needs more wiggle room. I've visited this establishment a few times and was very pleased. I've actually told her this before she deceided to open here. I told her to start smaller, downtown is a tough market (that I don't think she really understands) only the best will survive.
