My cousins had a grandma that would make them. My favorite was the potato and cheese and they were sauteed in butter and onions. Really delicious!

One of the key features that makes Bari so good is that their bread for their sandwich is made next door at D’Amatos bakery. #SoGood Highly recommend you guys try the falafel sandwiches at Sultan’s Market and check out the sweet beer garden at Small Bar in Logan Square. Also if you crave pie hit up Hoosier Mama Pie Company on Chicago Ave and you can also never go wrong with the Cuban food at 90 Miles!
