I was first introduced to Crosby’s Kitchen last year by my sister who used to live a couple of blocks from the restaurant. I was hooked from my first visit and have gone back several times since. We have even introduced some out of town guests to Crosby’s. source Crosby’s Kitchen is known for their…
Piggyback Tavern
Until a couple of years ago, the one thing the Oak Park food scene was seriously lacking was a good BBQ restaurant. Kevin and I are big fans of BBQ so you can imagine our excitement when Piggyback Tavern opened at the end of 2012. source Chef Jason Koraski came from one of my favorite…
Axcan
If you’ve been following along with my weekend recaps for the past couple of months, you know there is a new Mexican restaurant that we have been frequenting lately.

Jane’s
Two weekends ago Kevin and I dined at Jane’s for our first Sunday brunch of the year. I had heard great things about Jane’s so I knew I wanted to try it for myself. When we first arrived and I saw how cute the outside of the restaurant was, I knew I was going to…
Wood
Last week Kevin and I had the most delicious last meal of 2014. We made a reservation at Wood for New Year’s Eve and couldn’t have been more pleased with our meals. The restaurant had a special prix-fixe menu for the evening which we weren’t aware of until we were seated, but it turned out…
Chicago Q
Second to my love for all things Italian, barbecue is easily a close runner up for favorite foods of mine. Although barbecue is more famous in the South, Chicago does have some great barbecue restaurants as well. Chicago Q has been one of our favorites since it opened in 2010. Known for its competition style…
Perennial Virant
One of the first fine dining experiences Kevin and I had together was several years ago at Michelin star winner, Vie in Western Springs. The chef/owner of Vie is Paul Virant.
