Bistro. Trattoria. gastropub. are just a few words restaurant purists (snobs) love to use when referring to their favorite eatery. But what happens when the HiLoian has conquered all the quaint neighborhood cafes? Very simple, start your search in the slums of the city! That's right the ghettos are home to some of the best authentic foods in town. So get out your Westword and start thumbing through the "Best of" section you say? No way! the HiLoian needs to discover these cafes before the masses get their hands on it! What better way to keep things "real" than by going to a restaurant in the hood for authenticity?! The majority of these "diamonds in the rough" have not been tested by fellow HiLoians, so already these cafes become top priority. I stated earlier that authenticity is important in selecting the proper brasserie. Wrong, Authenticity is second to being the "first" to try these hot lil dives in the hood. Being the "first" to experience anything earns the Hiloian high rankings amongst their peers. So the next time you're at a social gathering, and your friend uncorks a bottle of cab from a foreign country, try knocking their socks off by suggesting you go to a soul food cafe in five points that is home to the best corn bread, turnip green and black-eyed pea dish in town.~thanks qweeds!
