The FlatTop Grill lets you build a dish worthy of any chile-head. In this unusual place you get to create your own dinner from a variety of vegetables, rice (white or brown), meat, and/or fish. Once you've put all this in a bowl, they toss it on a grill and stir-fry it to perfection. You also get to select from about two dozen sauces, some of which qualify this place as a chile-head hangout. Try a combination of the red chile paste and the peanut. My wife Gloria tells me the red curry sauce and tofu-horseradish were also quite spicy. Our non-chile-head companion Christy was able to eat very well without exposing herself to any sort of hot food. Highly recommended. No reservations accepted; either arrive at 5:30 p.m. or be prepared to wait in line. FlatTop Grill, three locations in the Chicago area (we ate at the North St. location): 319 W.
