Great Chicago Lunch

Great Chicago Lunch
I’m well aware of how bold the title is and I can back it up. Franks N Dawgs is a sausage with flavor, creativity and isn’t going to cost me a tank of gas! Much like Hot Doug’s you get a creative menu of “hot dogs” to choose from plus you don’t have nearly the... Read more »

Lillie's Q

Lillie's Q
Is it me or do restaurant openings come in themes? Lillie’s Q is the newest BBQ spot to hit town. Charlie McKenna has been around the culinary scene in the city for sometime having logged time at Tru and Avenues. I actually worked with Charlie for about a month at Avenues before he moved on...

Sunday Breakfast

image.attributes.post_excerpt
  There are a LOT of places people go for breakfast in the city. When I lived in Lakeview, I would hit the Golden Apple. When I was near DePaul, I would go to McGee’s, a lot! But the place I adore more than anything is a good diner. As a child, I would sit... Read more »

Happy Friday

Happy Friday
I’ve been gone for 9 days and this is my last day in the south of France. As much as I love vacation, I also know I love getting back home to Chicago. This trip has had me missing Lollapalooza and now the Chicago Air Show! I love hearing the roar of the jets as... Read more »

This week I took off on vacation so this weekend’s update will be short. I’m back in another week but I hope you enjoy the posts I hooked up before I left. Everyone will be food focused on Lollapalooza and the food orgy going on in Millenium Park! Looking forward to hearing about it when... Read more »

Shark Week!

Shark Week!
I love Shark Week! I SCUBA and love the water but because I grew up with “Jaws” that movie always remains in the back of my head. Being in the water with eels or barracuda bigger then you is very humbling. I’ve never seen a shark live and would only do it in a cage... Read more »

LINES!!!

LINES!!!
I don’t do well in lines. Last week I went to Molly’s Cupcakes and had to deal with a couple in love playing the game – “what do you want?” “I don’t know what do you want?” “I’ll get whatever you want, hehe.” LET’S GO!!! The time before I had four girls for a good... Read more »

Dinner for Schmucks

Dinner for Schmucks
I love a great comedy and although it’s not about food per se it was HILARIOUS! At times it had me choking and in tears. I would venture to say it is on par with ‘The Hangover” and “Old School.” Some may argue it’s not that original since it’s based off the French film, “Le... Read more »

Lollapalooza 2010 - Behind the Food Scene

Lollapalooza 2010 - Behind the Food Scene
From Perry Farrell to Chef Graham Elliot, promotion of the August music festival is at a fever pitch! To produce on that hype is no easy task. Chef Cary Taylor, The Southern, is making his Lolla debut with the task of being ready to feed the masses. I met up with Cary, an old friend... Read more »
