When it comes to food -- especially when it's comfort food -- Chicagoans take things seriously. From hot dogs and pizzas to steaks and ribs, if a Chi-Town restaurant doesn't get it right, it's certain to be out of business in no time. Something right is going down at Fireplace Inn, where they've been racking up the ribs for more than 30 years. Established in 1969 by Dick Novak, this family-owned spot in Old Town caters to the young professionals who have taken over the area. In the winter, Fireplace provides a warm, cozy atmosphere with several fireplaces. An outdoor all-seasons patio features a fully retractable top. The patio also features 14 televisions -- dominated by a 70" big screen -- allowing for unparalleled viewing of all major sporting events provided by a satellite system. Feeling really hungry? Go for the gusto and order the BBQ Lovers Delight: one-quarter chicken, baby back ribs and Texas beef ribs.
