It only took a couple of years of coaxing from my husband, but I finally tried oysters a few years ago on a trip to San Francisco and loved them! I don’t know what took me so long to take the plunge, but I’m glad I did. Especially with an oyster bar two blocks from our…
RPM Steak
One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago is RPM Italian so when the team behind RPM opened their second venture, RPM Steak, I knew it was a place I wanted to try. This past weekend Kevin and I dined at RPM Steak to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary. We had an early reservation on…

Nellcote
Nellcote is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago and perhaps the prettiest space I have ever dined in.

Hilton Head Island
Last week Kevin and I spent seven fun filled days on Hilton Head Island with several of our college friends. We rented a house on the island and had thirteen adults and three kids. Our house was in the Sea Pines Resort which was really nice because we didn’t ever have to leave the resort unless…

Knowing that Charleston has so many good restaurants and is known to be a foodie city it was hard to narrow it down…
