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've ever gotten the chance to visit Milwaukee, you know that it's pretty much all the stereotypical attributions of a midwesterner in one place. Incredibly nice, willing to help a stranger, and ranch is the superior condiment. It also holds a very special place in my heart as I got to live in this... 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 →

In our defense, we thought we were meeting a friend at... 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. While I did enjoy it, I would put the other two above it. It's a cute restaurant located right off of main street Downers great... Continue Reading →
Does anyone find something they enjoy and make it their entire personality? I tend to do that with food. And so of course after visiting this restaurant, Japanese BBQ is my new personality. 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 →
