Some of Rogers Park’s finest restaurants were represented with delicious entrees from… Leona’s, The Fish Keg, Hop Haus, Charmers CafĂ©, and The Caribbean American Bakery. The buffet style /food was excellent with a variety of dishes, including… fried fish & chicken, pizzas, brichettas, sandwiches, hush puppies, meat pies and salads.

“As the broadcast continued, before I knew it people just started to grab our microphones while they were in conversation which really made the broadcast. I thought it was great that people took the initiative to include their discussions in the broadcast in a free style manner. It made the broadcast that much more genuine and exciting!”
