Melanthios Greek Charhouse

3116 N Broadway, btw Barry and Briar; Lakeview; 773.360.8572

Greektown is great and all, but how many times can you
really watch a dude light cheese on fire? 50, it turns out.
Or maybe 51. But before that 52nd time rolls around, ditch
the cheese for authenticity and head to Melanthios Greek
Charhouse.

Opening Monday, MGC is taking a more authentic Southern
route to fulfilling your cravings for Greek grub in a
gleaming white space decked out with vintage lanterns and
old beams that contribute to a distinct nautical vibe, also
the name of Quincy Jones' ill-fated urban culture sailing
mag. The cooking centers around a massive open-pit grill
they're filling with natural charcoal to turn out classics
like souvlaki and shish kabobs along with bone-in rib eyes
and even seafood like octopus and jumbo shrimp, which, like
an '80s acne treatment lacking intellect, is an oxymoron.
Meats come backed up with veggies (zucchini, bell peppers,
portobellos, eggplant) that you can request cooked over the
fire or pan fried in olive oil, also their method for doing
Greek-style fried potatoes, which are like normal fried
potatoes, but Greek to you. And everyone else.

Stay tuned for the debut of their liquor program in a week
or two that will heavily feature Greek selections along with
some Cali action, and stay equally tuned on weekends, when
they'll be spit roasting an entire pig and lamb, but how
many times can you really watch a whole animal cook slowly
to perfection over an open flame? Anywhere from 53 to
infinity, pending the involvement of hilarious flaming dairy.
