Where To Eat: Eight Bar & Patio
When Maple & Ash opened a few months back it took the Chicago restaurant scene by storm. Located in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast, this steakhouse certainly made a name for itself in a short period of time, something tremendously difficult to do in a city with thousands of restaurants. It’s downstairs & outdoor option, Eight Bar […]
Where To Eat: Parlor Pizza
Parlor Pizza has long been one of our favorite dinner spots. A massive patio & rooftop for summer nights, a full wrap around bar for happy hours, & tons of TVs inside for watching all of our favorite sporting events. Yet we recently realized just how much we love this place for brunch too. The same […]
Where To Eat: Pomp & Circumstance
A strong black building standing on the corner of a charming block of Chicago’s Old Town is sure to stand out. Contrary to it’s bold outside the interior resembles something straight out of the ’60s. Step onto the patio & you’re immediately transformed into a backyard garden. Just as the atmosphere takes you on a wild ride, so […]
Where To Eat: Doodle’s Doughnuts
Hailing from Northern California where a neighborhood donut shop could be found on every corner, Dana Lanier founder of Doodle’s Doughnuts, was sad to learn this wasn’t the case in other cities. After relocating to Philadelphia, Dana decided to take this matter batter into her own hands. As someone who has baked her whole life & had master cake & […]
Where To Eat: Snaggletooth
Snaggletooth is Chicago’s latest restaurant taking the food & Instagram world by storm. Walls lined with plants & bagels, a DIY bagel bar, a cured fish counter, & partnerships with other local companies are just some of the features you’ll notice upon arrival. That & the open kitchen that you can step into to finish your meal yourself. Chicago is […]
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!”. And boy was she right, truffle pizza, pasta, soup, cheese, & more–definitely my kind of place. Don’t worry if truffle isn’t your thing (say whaaat!) Siena Tavern’s menu […]
Where To Eat: Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que may be relatively new to Chicago but the restaurant itself has been around since the early ’80s. While they’re expanded locations the restaurant concept has remained the same. With locations in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, & now Illinois, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que has made quite a name for itself in the BBQ world. After […]
Where To Eat: Erie Cafe
When you think of steakhouses you think of just that, steak & lots of it. Maybe some fish or chicken on the menu as well but it’s not often you find a steakhouse with incredible steak & tons of other options. That is unless you’ve been to Erie Cafe. Locally owned & operated since the ’90s […]
Where To Eat: La Storia
Chicago is home to some of the best restaurants in the world. New places are constantly opening & others are quickly closing their doors. In a city of foodies it’s extremely difficult for a restaurant to make a name for itself. Yet the team behind Ideology Entertainment group has managed to fill an entire block […]
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 […]
