Recent eats at Merle Hay Mall: Old Chicago and Flix Brewhouse.

Left, a small Chicago Thick Meat Me pizza from Old Chicago, with Italian and andouille sausages, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and a green olive and fresh basil garnish. Right, a Chicago Fire calzone. Decent amount of meats and peppers. Despite the jalapeño garnish, the Fire was …umm… delayed.

Left, Mozzarella stuffed meatballs. I'd reccomend them but O.C. went and changed the menu, again. Right, Tavern Bites, featuring fried jalapeño cheese stuffed ravioli, fried spicy pickles, and flavored fries. Meh. I'd much rather have the meatballs.

Huevos Rancheros omelet with a side of deep-fried potatoes at Flix Brewhouse. Clean egg flavor, crunchy tortilla, and crisp veggies impress. Lacking salsa though, a key component of classic huevos rancheros.
