Restaurant Launching Soon

Whine and Dine serves up a heaping plate of sarcasm with a generous side of reality as it takes on Evanston, Illinois’s oh-so-diverse restaurant scene. Bestselling author Daniel J. Voelker, armed with razor-sharp wit and a seriously honed sense of humor, spares no eatery—from snooty bistros to beloved burger joints. He gleefully skewers mediocre meals and worshipped hotspots alike, pointing out just how brilliant it is to spend $20 on artisanal toast. 

Voelker’s refreshingly blunt opinions offer invaluable wisdom for newcomers to Evanston restaurants who are desperate to avoid yet another overhyped brunch spot. And for seasoned residents who think they’ve seen it all—prepare for a masterclass in snark, complete with chuckles, eye rolls, and maybe a tear or two for that sad, soggy salad you ordered last week. No overpriced menu or limp French fry is safe. 

Looking for a restaurant guide that doesn’t tiptoe around bad meals or inflated egos? Voelker delivers—his reviews are equal parts comedic gold and brutally helpful advice, served with just the right amount of bite. With Whine and Dine, your dinner decisions—and your sense of humor—are in safe hands.
