Updated: Sticky Rice Chicago Restaurant

UPDATE, FEB. 2012:  Today, Sticky Rice restaurant, at 4018 N Western Avenue in Chicago, gets good reviews on Yelp and Zagat.  I want to make it clear that the incident of 2009 has long been resolved.

The city lost its license to handle harder drugs last year for the same reason: poor record-keeping. Read more at Chicagoist...
