Dropping off the cousin at O’Hare today reminded Dropping off the cousin at O’Hare today reminded us that one great spot for a beer and delicious food before a flight (or on a random Friday night with the family or Tuesday business lunch) is @crustbrewing in Rosemont’s @parkwaybankpark 

Great patio to catch the Rockin’ in the Park concert series every Thursday in the summer too. 

Today’s offerings: The I Know Joe hefeweizen and the delightful Blueberry Crusher, a light-bodied cream ale with a hint of lemon and lots of real blueberries.

The @shemroonkababhouse falafel — ground chickpeas with parsley, garlic and onion — is freshly fried upon ordering and served atop a cucumber, tomato and onion salad with a sesame-flavored tahini sauce.

“It wasn’t on the menu at the beginning when we opened two years ago, but a lot of people were asking for it, especially since we have a really good hummus dish on the menu,” owner Mehdi Hajiaghazadeh tells us. “But very quickly, it became one of our most popular appetizers.”
