Default A new Wow Bow is opening...

....on Tuesday, October 30. It's on the NW corner of State and Lake (not sure if they will have a street facing sign, so you may have to go inside the building to access). They will be open on weekends as well.

Default Bao Wow

Is that Bao Wow ?

We love the place at the Water Tower, my wife buys them for the kids but ends up eating most of them and we have to go back and buy more

I found this -

Unhappy Wow nuttin'

I know you all like Wow Bao, but I tried them on a couple of occasions. Those dumpling things seemed soggy, and the meat/vegetable filling paltry. Plus, they're pricey if you order a bunch of them.

Default Bao Wow

It's Bao Wow. I walked by there last Friday and saw them setting up inside. Good location! They had a sign that said soggy, over-priced dim sum coming soon.

Default Ruf-ruf

No, Eric. It's not Bao Wow. That's the Vietnamese dumpling restaurant on Kedzie, not the Lettuce Entertain You place.

I'd hate to know what's in Bao Wow's dumplings, although the restaurant's tagline is:

"Fi Fi Fo Yu"

Default You guys are too funny....

I dunno.......I've been there are couple of times already and I have to admit there is something I really like about the place. Not so high end, mind you, but the staff is nice as can be and the dumplings are strangely satisfying.

Shades of Sweeney Todd, perhaps?

My wife keeps talking about going there one night, but it's getting cold. Maybe this weekend.

What do dumplings have to do with Sweeney Todd? Has Johnny Depp professed his love of Chinese dumplings? I saw a trailer for Sweeney Todd and wasn't that moved to see it, I'll wait for the reviews.

Beowulf in 3D at the IMAX opening this weekend looks compelling, I read John Gardner's Grendel as part of our lit class in high school as we saw the Beowulf movie that came out last year through Netflix. I'm a fan. Sorry I am getting off the topic of dumplings. :-)
