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: Rock Wrap & Roll

As avid Japanese & Thai food eaters, we’re always on the lookout for new restaurants for each cuisine. However this time we’ve stumbled across one that provides BOTH: Rock Wrap & Roll! Not only do they offer both but they offer an extensive menu for each. We’re talkin’ pages & pages of options. Plus (yes, there’s more), they […]

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: The Sweet Petite

We’re not ashamed to admit that 80% of what we purchase is based on packaging. Sometimes the products live up to the hype & other times the company is lucky the packing is so darn cute. With The Sweet Petite, an online cookie company, the hype is most certainly real. Started by Jenna, an avid home […]

Where To Eat: Bake Shoppe

Before visiting Toronto we did quite a bit of research on where to visit. While in the past we may have used the internet & friends recommendations for a trip, this time we turned strictly to Instagram. While that may sound risky as we were completely judging books based on their covers, it ended up being […]

Road Trip To Toronto & Hotel Stay At Sheraton Centre

Woo hoo road trips are one of our favorite types of getaways. Possibly due to their convenience: on your own schedule, stops when & where you want (aka burgers & fries the entire time), blasting the radio, & a guaranteed spot next to friends. We’re making it a priority to do more road trips this year & our first […]

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 […]

Travel Guide: New Orleans

After our recent trip to NOLA we couldn’t wait to share with you some of our favorite places in such an awesome city. Of course, our where to eat list is the longest, but that’s only natural as we ate (& drank…) 90% of the trip! Where To Eat: Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro: Some of the best […]
