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. From the crystal chandeliers to the wallpaper and fun blue chairs – everything about this space is just lovely. My first visit to Nellcote was several years ago for Kevin’s birthday dinner. Nellcote features European-inspired small plates made with…
The 206
When Tino Ganacias relocated to Oak Park from Seattle, he knew he wanted to bring good coffee (something Seattle is known for) to the area. He started his coffee and espresso truck, named The 206 (Seattle’s area code), and developed a waffle recipe to help drive traffic. Set up outside of the local Farmer’s Market…
Charleston Eats
One of my favorite things about traveling to new cities is trying local cuisine. When we decided to spend a day in Charleston I immediately started researching the best places to eat.

Food Subscription Box Reviews
Last summer you may remember me writing about a snack box called Graze. I kept up with my subscription for several months and for the most part enjoyed all of the snacks I received from them. Since then, I have tried out two other food box subscriptions: Love With Food and Nature Box and I…

It is the perfect place to grab a meal when you want chef-inspired fare with a casual atmosphere. There menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, pizzas, and special dinner features such as their pork chop and…
Jam
When you think of brunch in Logan Square two restaurants probably come to mind: Lula Cafe and Longman and Eagle. This past weekend I had plans to dine at Lula, but based on the crowd of at least fifty people standing outside we opted to go elsewhere. Lucky for us, my Chicago neighborhood post from…
Fig & Olive
This past weekend I had the pleasure of dining at Fig & Olive for brunch with Kevin and some of our friends. Fig & Olive just opened in Chicago last summer, but had previously made a name for itself in New York City and Southern California. Fig & Olive is located amidst the fabulous designer…
