Nicky's Carry-Out in Crestwood, IL
Months before I started dating J, I was sent up to Chicago to shoot a high school basketball game at St. Xavier University on the south side. I didn’t know then that I’d be spending so much time on the south side of Chicago and when I got off the Interstate on Cicero Avenue, my first order of business was finding some place to get an Italian beef.
The first place I came across was Nicky’s Carry-Out in Crestwood, so I stopped and got a beef. I didn’t know it at the time, but there was a Portillo’s right down the street. If I had known that, I probably would have waited, but I’m sort of glad I didn’t.
I haven’t been back to Nicky’s since then even though we do drive by it quite a bit on our way to J’s parents’ house. On my last trip home by myself, I had to make a stop at J’s parents on the way back to Lansing to pick up some things we forgot on our last trip home.
I left my parents in kind of a rush because I slept much later than I had intended. After a quick stop at my brother’s, I headed towards Chicago….hungry. I could have stopped at Portillo’s, but since I was by myself, I decided to stop at Nicky’s to see if it was what I remembered now that I’ve been formally introduced to Chicago cuisine.
