#Foodie Review: El Ideas (Chicago)
When you walk into the restaurant itself you will wonder how you could possibly have paid so much for a meal in what looks like an old workroom for a mobile phone company. However, from the first bite that you taste, the first song you hear, you feel at home, comfortable, well fed, and very much satisfied with your decision to dine at El ideas.
#Foodie Review: Grace (Chicago)
This is one of the restaurants I have wanted to visit since moving back to Chicago. Everyone has heard of Chef Duffy’s fascinating and tragic history and rise to where he is now. You kind of want this place to thrive. But, this is Chicago, so backstory or not, the food and service must be stellar. And I was impressed. The food was spectacular.

#Foodie Review: Everest restaurant (Chicago)
Everest 440 S. LaSalle | Chicago, IL SHORT VERSION: Everest, while an absolutely fantastic experience I would recommend to friends, colleagues, and anyone who asks, was not good enough to win me over either Avenues at the Peninsula or Les Nomades. I do, however, think it had better food than Alinea, better service than L2O, […]
#Foodie Review: Les Nomades restaurant (Chicago)
Les Nomades 222 E. Ontario | Chicago, IL 60611 SHORT VERSION: Attention Chicago and fellow #foodies around the world, I have a new favorite restaurant and I can’t even pronounce it’s name.
