Is this the return of restaurant reviews?? Who's to say. However, every once in a while I come across a restaurant that is worth sharing with the masses cause it was just that good. Saigon Sisters is this restaurant. Located on Lake Street between Clinton and Jefferson it is the kind of restaurant that you... Continue Reading →
Beatrix is quickly becoming a Chicagoland staple. With 5 restaurants (and counting) in Chicago and surrounding suburbs, it's becoming one of those places that everyone goes to. Surprised it took me this long to make my way to one of them. And if their lunch and dinner menu is as good as their brunch menu,... Continue Reading →
If you are looking for a new date night place, Alpana is the perfect place. An upscale, intimate Italian restaurant serving up some delicious dishes, especially their fresh made pasta. It's a smaller space but whoever was their interior designer should get an award. Absolutely stunning. Just wanted to take in all the greenery and... Continue Reading →
To round out the two weeks of Chicago Restaurant Week, I found myself finally checking off Aba from my Chicago restaurant bucket list. Aba has been at the top of the list for so long, and for whatever reason, just have never been able to make it there. It's Mediterranean inspired and anyone who loves... Continue Reading →
Bar Chido is just the latest restaurant to open in Downers Grove by the same people who opened Foxtail and Cadence. Two of my favorite restaurants in the Chicago suburbs.

Have added like 20 different Japanese and Korean BBQ places to try in Chicago and am very excited about that. Japanese BBQ... Continue Reading →
Chicago Restaurant Week may be my new favorite time of the year (behind Christmas of course). So many great restaurants participate with a set fixed price menu equalling almost triple for the 3-4 courses that you get for the price if you didn't order from that menu. So of course when the announcement came, I... Continue Reading →
One of my new year's resolutions was when I go to a restaurant, not to automatically pick something I know I will like. Try something I might not normally pick. So I took that resolution by the horns at the latest restaurant I went to and picked items I definitely would not have normally. Plus,... Continue Reading →
Had an event in the West Loop/Fullerton neighborhood a few weeks ago that ended early, so obviously my solution when something ends early is where can I eat around here. West Loop/Fullerton is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. It feels very clean, has great shopping with both local and big names stores, and... Continue Reading →
If I were to ever open a restaurant one day (I won't but in the off chance I decide to do so) I love it when chefs make seasonal menus. Yes, it sucks cause what if you have something amazing and have to wait a whole year before you can have it again (lobster potholes),... Continue Reading →
