I got my hearing professionally checked today and all is normal. But I have difficulty hearing people I am dining with, talking in restaurants. Is it me, or is the music just too damn loud?!

It isn't. My favorite restaurant--Kuma's Korner, on Belmont in Chicago--is always playing metal.

Goddamn I miss that place... :(

I need to check it out. Turns out they have one in the suburbs just under 4 miles from me.

I'd been to the Lincoln Park location--I think that it's closed now--and it had a very different vibe. I haven't been to the suburban locations. To me, the original location, with it's tiny eating section and dive-bar vibe, is still the best. Almost like if Exit served good food, y'know? (AFAIK, Exit doesn't serve food at all.)

I just moved back to the Chicago land area after being away for 20 years. These places sound like my exact vibe and the sort of places I've been searching for.

Do you have any other recommendations?
