Comments: Jerry Goldberg of Chicago says, "After a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, I drove over to Harry Caray"s restaurant to celebrate the victory-and the team"s late announcer. The hearty chicken with potatoes was almost as memorable as Caray"s singing of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, which was his seventh-inning tradition."

Note: Make this as fiery as you like by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper.
