Bumping to spread the good news of a database being compiled of delicious south side dining establishments.Black People EatsDig in. Commence to yummin'.EDIT: it should be noted that BPE concentrates on dining establishments owned by African-Americans in all parts of the city, but being the highly segregated city that Chicago is most of these establishments are located south. Salut.
