Chicago Eats, 'Burbs Edition - Pappadeaux



Just because it's the suburbs doesn't mean that good food doesn't exist. There are some real diamonds in the rough (the rough being Applebee's, Houlihan's, Chili's, etc.). Pappadeaux is one such place that's a real treasure. I used to go to the location in Schaumburg frequently with the fam, and it was one of our favorite places to go for family dinner. Then it inexplicably closed. So sad. But there's still one in Westmont, less than 10 minutes away from Oakbrook Mall! So happy. The food is consistently good and the seafood is always fresh. Please do yourself a favor and go here. Oh, and if you're debating between this and Bob Chinn's Crab House...go to Pappadeaux.

Pappadeaux Platter fried to perfection with fried catfish, shrimp, blue crab cake, stuffed shrimp and stuffed crab
Andouille Sausage and Seafood Gumbo **must get**
Crispy Fried Alligator with potato sticks and a delicious creole dipping sauce. **must get**
Banana Wafer Pudding with a strawberry and wafers inside. This is my favorite dessert at any restaurant. It's amazing. I want more now. I will drive out to the 'burbs just to eat this one thing.

Pappadeaux Platter - just a better picture.
