When Kevin first started working after graduating from college, one of his favorite places to have lunch was at Braxton Seafood in Oak Brook which was conveniently located across the street from his office. That restaurant has since closed and is now Devon Seafood Grill. With locations in both downtown Chicago and Oakbrook Terrace, this…
The Peasantry
A couple of summers ago Kevin and I visited The Peasantry for brunch. The Peasantry first came on the food scene with a focus on street food. We were able to enjoy dishes like a Brunch Dog and Roasted Beet Hash which were both delicious and left us wanting to go back to try their…
Butcher and the Burger
Butcher and the Burger is one of those small neighborhood burger counters that quickly made a name for itself when it opened in Lincoln Park in 2011. Like the cheeseburger at Au Cheval, many local Chicagoans consider the burgers here to be some of the best in the city. The concept of this burger joint is…
Nightwood
One of the most popular brunch spots in Chicago would have to be Logan Square’s Lula Cafe. You can always expect to see a crowd of people happily waiting for brunch on the weekend. When Chef and Owner, Jason Hammel, opened his second restaurant, Nightwood, it came as no surprise that it quickly became just…
Q BBQ
It’s no secret that I love a good barbecue restaurant, as seen here, here, and here. Recently Kevin and I visited a much more casual barbecue establishment with quick counter service. 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 at The Drake Hotel
For the past couple of years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Holiday Tea at the famous Drake Hotel in Chicago. 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…
Chicago Neighborhood Guide – Buena Park
It’s Thursday which means it’s time for another edition of the Chicago Neighborhood Guide. Today’s post features Buena Park – a tiny pocket of Uptown, just north of Lakeview. source Writing today’s post is Buena Park resident and one of my very best friends, Mandy. Mandy and I met while students at Purdue and bonded over…
Au Cheval
If you ask any Chicagoan what their favorite burger is, the majority will probably tell you the cheeseburger at 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…
Prasino
A few weeks ago Kevin and I dined at Prasino for dinner. I have wanted to visit Prasino ever since it was featured on Check, Please! a few seasons ago. The word ‘prasino’ is Greek for ‘green’. I think the restaurant is perfectly named as all ingredients used in their cuisine are organic and locally…
Knife and Tine
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know I love Sunday brunch! Kevin and I love trying out new brunch places each week and recently dined at Knife and Tine in Lincoln Park. Kevin started his meal with a Bloody Mary which he thought was good, but pretty standard…
