Two Sons Restaurant

Here's a suggestion seebeee....don't eat turkey when you go to diners and fast food joints...probably will save you a ton of agita.

I don't think so. I normally test the waters first as I did here. I used to like this place specifically FOR the turkey. There are plenty of diners and fast food joints that take pride in their product. As far as I can tell, Tastee Corner Cafe does not take pride in theirs when it comes to turkey.
Here's what I was sold:

And in fairness, I was singing praises for Two Sons in that lth thread, and also in this thread as well.
So, just beware the turkey if you think of turkey as meat from a bird, and not a yellowish, gelatinous, mixture of chemicals, like Tastee Corner Cafe, Subway, Potbelly, and Mr Submarine.

The photos are terrifying.

Food scares you?

I suppose it depends on your definition of food.  I'm thinking Michael Pollan would have a problem with that stuff.

Food is a very broad term.
IMO, turkey is not a very broad term that is open to interpretation.

I was referring to the facon.

Gotcha...(disregard Pollan reference)

Seebee, those photos of the faux-turkey from LTH made me lose my apetite. That is some nasty shit, and I agree with you, stores/restaurants should not refer to it as 'turkey breast', or anything similar. Maybe 'turkey product', so you at least have a chance to dodge the bullet.

Thanks CB for the LTH posts. That was a real knock out punch! I was going to try it but not anymore. Sounds pretty bad. Keep the reviews coming.

Don't discount them having other great food. I can only speak for the "turkey" and facon that I was given. The soup was actually pretty good.

Taste Corner Cafe -was out this morning at the trainstation and handed out fresh coffee and a bag with hummus+Pita and Baklava.
I see lots of people don't like their food but I have to say we have liked it when it was the old duct-tape-booth-place and I like it better now with the new look they have. I am pretty excited for the option to have middle eastern food options. I love the places in Oak Park and I hope their Hummus and Tabouleh will be good. Will try it as soon as possible.

It's nice to have other options than just pasta in town.

[Bonster]

What middle eastern food options have you tried there?

I had their Mexican skillet and it was a four-yolk beast, just like Two Sons.  Luckily, chorizo is something you can get away with using turkey for since they add a shitload of jalapeno (to the dish) for heat.  If you a want bacon, sausage and ham skillet forget it.  I'll have to try their corned beef hash skillet next.

Middle Eastern food? This could be great news if it can last! I'll try and grab a menu today - I'll be driving right by on the way to the Y.

Menu in hand...
Hummus plate- 4.99
Fattoush - 4.99
Tabouleh - 4.99
Kefta - 11.95
Chicken Tawook - 11.95
No descriptions on any of these, but among the eggs, pancakes, paninis, gyros, burgers, and pastas, that's the sprinkling of Mid Eastern stuff. Maybe I'll pop in for breakfast, and ask them why no falafel, shawarma, or baba gannouj, and see what she says. Maybe her eyes will light up. Indian food has gotta be around the corner now - maybe a few years, but it's gotta be coming.

Congratulations, Seebee! It is a rare occasion indeed when you can make 2 consecutive posts without any turkey/mayo complaints.

LOL...I have a suggestion-lets BAN any and/or all turkey and/or mayo (real or imagined) related products in Berwyn...PERMANENTLY!

I know what these are being a lover of Mid Eastern eats, but there was no description on the menu. The kefta and tawook are listed under "specialties" with no description. I'm assuming it's an entree, but no mention of rice, pita, sauces, etc.
