Where To Eat: Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Well people, the hype is 100% real when it to Gus’s Fried Chicken. We headed over to the Memphis staple which opened it’s doors in Chicago earlier this year & boy did we leave happy. Happy & completely stuffed, as you should be when leaving Gus’s. Everything from the sides to staples we’re better than we could […]

Where To Eat: The Cookie Joint

While all of our reviews highlight the best items you should be eating at each restaurant this review is a bit different as you can eat this food in the comfort of your own home. The Cookie Joint, a Chicago based company, serves up delicious cookies, specifically, cookie fries. Inspired by the American classic crinkle-cut French […]

Where To Eat: Siena Tavern

When I first told my roommate the next Where To Eat stop was Siena Tavern, she quickly commented back, “Oh that’s your kind of place, truffle everything!”.

Where To Eat: Carnivale Chicago

One of my favorite things about Chicago is that there’s no shortage of incredible food. Most every street bears at least 2-3 restaurants & since us Chicagoans are such foodies, only the best ones survive. Earlier, in 2015, Carnivale celebrated 10 years of incredible cuisine, so you know this place is good. If that wasn’t enough, I scoured out their dessert […]

Bake 425

There’s absolutely no time of year I’ll pass on a pizza. From when it’s too cold to even think about going outside to a party by the pool, pizza always seems fitting. Not to mention, I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like the stuff. Bake 425, a new Chicago company, is changing the way we […]

Where To Eat: DMK Burger Bar

You’re about knee deep in shortbread cookies & can’t even look at another plate of pie. Yet ’tis the season for indulging & we’ve got just the place for you to do so. We checked out DMK Burger Bar in Lakeview earlier this week & boy is it good. From their truffle fries (probably sold you already […]
