My favorite question I get is - "What's your favorite restaurant?" and to me, that is such an impossible question because my favorite dishes are from a number of restaurants. How would one choose? The Scallop Pasta from Torchio, the brussels sprouts bruschetta from Nico Ostera, the Burrata from Beatrix, the Japanese A5 Wagyu Strip… Continue reading Torchio
Welcome to a rainy day in Chicago, where I cuddle next to my space heater in my office dreaming of the brussels sprouts bruschetta from Nico.

I jumped on The Publican bandwagon AND DRANK THE TEA. And it was awesome. Forgive me for my basiq Chicago restaurant blog, this city is so big and reservations are a must everywhere you go. SOS. But since everyone was wanting to wait for the patio, we snagged a spot inside and got sat right… Continue reading The Publican
It's going to take me 100 years to try all the new restaurants in Chicago when I find myself CRAVING the one's I go to on the regular. Still in the process of trying a new place once a week, (I'll get to writing them all eventually) BUT ANY WHO. Let me tell you about… Continue reading The Kitchen
