Welcome to “Chowdown Showdown,” a weekly feature where we take one type of food and ask readers to nominate their favorite restaurants in Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn and Palos.

Where to Get Your Fat Tuesday Paczki Fix
Fat Tuesday is not complete without this fried dough Polish treat.
For many area residents Fat Tuesday is not complete without the delectable Polish delicacy known as paczki. Due to the Chicago area's large Polish population, the fried dough creation has become a staple of the pre-Lenten celebration. Filling and icing varieties make the choices almost unending. In recent years choices have gotten increasingly gourmet as local bakeries offer unique concoctions like maple bacon and turtle. For those looking for more traditional paczki the local options are plentiful. Baumann's Bakery in Palos Heights calls Fat Tuesday their busiest day of the year. Last year, the bakery gave customers the choice of 17 different varieties. The Southtown Star recently visited Witek's Bakery in Palos Hills where an estimated …

St. Louis de Montfort was the only one with a Fish Bake, a healthy alternative to fried foods, and real gourmet downtown chefs. The food was excellent quality, and generous quantity. Unfortunately, they only had a single Fish Bake rather than every week of Lent. But, I guess it may be a case of quality versus quantity. St. Albert's was good, unfortunately it was not included in the report. But, … more ›

What Are You Doing for Lent?
Lent shouldn't be about giving up our favorites foods, it should be about adding something to our communities and our lives.
There are many different ways to make Lent a season of spiritual renewal. One traditional way is to give up sweets or chocolate or some other food that you enjoy. That can be spiritually enriching if you use your craving for that food as a reminder to pray for God to fill the empty spaces in your life. Others use their daily act of sacrifice as an opportunity to meditate about how Jesus sacrificed his own life. The idea is not just to practice self-denial, but to let it lead us into deeper relationship with God. A different path to spiritual renewal during Lent is to add something to your life. You might find a new opportunity to serve others or spend more intentional time in prayer or set aside time to read and reflect on scripture or …
