Last week I met some ladies from my church small group for dinner at Charlatan. Charlatan is a new restaurant on the Chicago food scene that debuted its menu last October. Charlatan is the brainchild of the owners of the popular Little Italy spot, Three Aces. The concept of this new spot is to “bring…
Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar
A few weeks ago Kevin and I joined his parents for dinner at Parkers’ Restaurant and Bar in Downers Grove. The restaurant is located right off of a main highway next to office buildings so can seem unassuming from the outside, but we were all pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. source When we…
Inspiralized Cookbook Review
The “zoodle” craze has been on major trend lately and a few months ago I tried them for the first time myself. There are many different types of sprializers out there it can be hard to know which kind to purchase. After doing a little bit of research I ordered the Premium Vegetable Spiralizer from…
Devon Seafood Grill

Q BBQ has three locations in Chicago (Lakeview), La Grange, and Naperville. We stopped in the La Grange location for dinner on our way…

Afternoon tea takes place in the Palm Court and is served daily from 1-5 PM throughout the year. The Drake hosts special afternoon tea sittings for holidays like Mother’s Day and Easter and…
Au Cheval

While my personal favorite burger in the city can be found elsewhere (more on that another time), the burger at Au Cheval is definitely a close second. Au Cheval is a small diner that…
