A restaurant I have been wanting to try for a long time is Trenchermen over in Wicker Park. The outside is the remains of an old bath house which makes the restaurant look antique and inviting. When you walk into the actual restaurant you actually feel like you are on a ship from the 1800s….

Longman & Eagle, Logan Square, Chicago
This past Sunday a few of my girlfriends and I had a jam-packed day of events planned, and what better way to start off a Sunday than brunch? We headed over to Longman & Eagle out in Logan Square. Logan is an up and coming neighborhood in Chicago and is home to some of the hottest…
The Frontier, West Town, Chicago
My friend had a going away party last night at The Frontier, located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood. Walking into the restaurant is like entering a lodge, with a homey fireplace and small group seating on one side, then a convertible outside option, that was set up for groups with wooden beams and lights where…
I want pizza right now. Or in three minutes.
Hello my fellow foodies. I’ve been under the weather and out of the restaurant game for a solid two weeks! I took today off of work to rest up and was walking around enjoying this beautiful day when I had a hankering for pizza. To be honest, I always want pizza. Probably seven out of seven days…
The Southern – Bucktown, Chicago
Right before the long holiday weekend, I met up with a few friends over at The Southern in Wicker Park. The Southern has the most relaxing outdoor seating, under trees, umbrellas, and strings of outdoor lights, reminding you of your favorite friend’s patio. The Southern’s food is described in its name, Southern comfort soul-feeding food. My friends…
Local Root – Streeterville Chicago
I was spoiled to be able to hit up two very local restaurants this weekend. Local Root, located right off the lake in Streeterville, is exactly what it sounds like – a restaurant that gets all of its produce and meat from local farms. I love the ‘farm-to-table’ concept and this place is a cozy little welcoming…
Chefs Burger Bistro – Streeterville Chicago
I had the opportunity to check out a burger joint right around the corner this weekend for dinner called Chef’s Burger Bistro. Recently opened, I’d been wanting to try this restaurant out as I had been hearing good things and why wouldn’t you want to try a place in your neighborhood that shows happy people outside enjoying…
Taste of Greece – Chicago’s Greektown
Greece is my favorite country I’ve visited with its breathtaking islands, whitewashed housing, amazingly friendly people, and great food. I always try to recreate my experience in Greece whenever I can and one of the perks of living in Chicago is that it has its very own Greektown on Halsted Street. I try to head over there a…
Casual Chicago Brunch: Orange
I have friends in town every weekend for the rest of the summer and they love brunch as much as I do, so I’m taking advantage of checking out some of the “oldie but goodie” brunch spots I haven’t been to yet. Sunday we went to Orange in Lincoln Park. The wait wasn’t terrible, about…
RPM Italian Chicago
I had the pleasure of taking my second trip to RPM Italian this weekend. I really love the modern, upscale feel of this restaurant, its service and ambiance, but I hadn’t been blown away by the food on my first visit. I’m so glad I gave it another chance. I had gone with one other friend…
