👋🏽 Hi, it's Monica!

Earlier this week, I took readers on a culinary tour of Dempster Street in the near north suburbs.

The big picture: I was overwhelmed by readers' fabulous suggestions for more great spots to eat.

The vibe: It's the weekend, which means more time to explore. So eat your way through one of the area's most interesting dining destinations at some of these spots.

🇦🇫 Kabul House (2424 W Dempster St., Evanston): "You must try the aush here. I could eat that soup every day - same with the veggie platter." - Christine K.

🧐 Dempster in Evanston: "Dozika, Blind Faith Cafe, Panino's, Zentli, Bagel Art Cafe are all giving you the side eye."😜 - Brian E.

🛒 Village Marketplace (4034 W Dempster St., Skokie) "has fresh, inexpensive produce and food from around the world. I always pick up my Ukrainian milk and French cheese there." - Lori B.

🇰🇷 Hwang Soh Grill (5819 W. Dempster St., Morton Grove) "has amazing Korean BBQ. They play K-pop videos nonstop on their TVs. Their pork belly and short rib are insanely delicious." - Shin L.

🍱 "Sushi Kaya (6026 W. Dempster St., Niles) is great, as well as fusion pizza spots like Pizza Lab or Halal Pizza Point." - Susan P.

• But, as a Nordic noir lover, "Detective Hole" will definitely be streaming in my house!
