I LOVE…
.. the creme brulee at Brasserie Jo [59 W. Hubbard St.]. It’s bruleed to order, so it’s warm and “thin” enough that it is not cold or mushy. It’s creamy and perfect!
— Liisa Gary, Arlington Heights
… the spectacular Lenten menu at Cafe El Tapatio [3400 N. Ashland Ave.], in particular the chile poblanos unicos, a poblano pepper, stuffed with tuna, carrots and corn bits, dipped in an egg batter, fried and topped with chipotle sauce. The food year-round is really super.

I HATE …
… the Chicago Public Library book groups that meet each month — especially the group at the Lincoln Park Branch on Fullerton.
— Arlene Stix, Chicago
… commuters who litter, especially those who leave their newspapers in the seats and on the floor of Metra trains. Come on people! Keep America Beautiful. Don’t litter!
— Sharon Ryan, Willowbrook
… when people with SUVs back into their spot and take up two spots in the process, especially in a crowded parking lot. If it’s too big for you to master parking it that way, maybe you shouldn’t be driving a car that size.
— Jennifer Healy, Park Ridge
… companies that expect you to fit your full name and address on a postage stamp-sized rebate form. Perhaps this is so you give up on sending in for the rebate.
— Richard Dreger, Batavia
