⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Come for the burger, stay for everything else!

We had our first date night in awhile and thought… let’s bring back when we can! Expect far more Suburban entries and kid friendly spots though haha.

As a big burger lover, had wanted to go to for a long time, and we finally made that dream come true. What we were most impressed by though wasn’t the burger (though it was amazing), but everything else!

Aside from the great ambiance, and somehow not too loud for its size space, the drinks were incredible, especially the whisky cocktails we ordered. Their Old Fashioned and Yoichi Penicillin was were just phenomenal; stiff cocktails that used sweetness and flavors to bring out the magic of the whiskies they used (not mask it).

Some other hits were the Mentaiko Kimchi Udon, which was almost like a carbonara in creaminess level, and the Chashu Pork Belly, which had a magically tangy sauce. We also found the Crispy Cauliflower to be a great value dish both in terms of flavor and how much you got. We also enjoyed the Oyster Mushroom side which had an awesome meaty flavor, but we wish there was more of it for the price.

The only thing we didn’t love (though it was good) was the Strawberry Daifuku dessert, which could have been a bit more sweet… Of course, that may just be our personal preference. It’s definitely made for a great savory dessert course!

Burger of course was amazing, though we still give the edge to classics like and .

We can’t wait to go back! It was such a great experience, and we want to try much more of the menu.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best in Chicago?!

We have been trying to make our way over to for years, but life (and Covid) kept getting in the way… After all the hype and waiting, we were so incredibly excited to finally get a chance to try their Kitchen Table experience post renovation!

We won’t get into every dish, but let’s just say that there were no misses; beautiful decor, incredible food, perfect and friendly service, and arguably the best wine pairing we’ve had in Chicago made the night incredible.

If you get a chance to visit, we highly recommend the reserve wine and spirit free pairing. Both complimented each dish exquisitely, and it was fun to see the similarities between the wines and ‘s spirit free pairing.

Food wise? Well, you’ll just have to try it yourself! Thanks again to and the entire team. Time for them to get that third star!

Most folks know for the incredible effort she started to advocate for take home cocktails, an initiative that she was successful in pursuing, providing a much needed life line to many ailing restaurants and bars in Chicago.

However, we wanted to take a moment to talk about her new endeavor, .kumiko , a walk up window at .

What can you get there? Well, some of the best spirit free and creative matcha drinks money can buy. And with your incredibly creative drinks, we highly recommend you pick up food off their menu to bring home. In particular, the “Yusuf Kosho Karaage”, and “Gyudon” is food worthy of the Michelin star recently received.

Also do yourself a favor and grab a few bags of the honey nori cashews... unreal. 😍

Chicago is better off with incredible women like leading the charge and innovating, no matter the crisis that comes our way.

$$$$, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

We knew we missed restaurants, but we didn’t know we REALLY REALLY missed restaurants. After 3 months, we were lucky enough to have our first post-quarantine restaurant visit at Roister by .
We are no strangers to Roister. As always, the food was beautifully prepared and delicious, the drinks were incredible being clearly inspired by , and the service was excellent as well.
What we’re sure a lot of folks are curious about is how seriously they are taking the rules set by the sitting on social distancing. What we can say is that compared to the other restaurants in Fulton Market, Roister seemed the best set up to keep their guests and staff safe. Each table was at least 10 feet apart, with physical barriers between each. The staff was also well equipped with masks and gloves, and bottles of hand sanitizers were on every table.
We would always recommend Roister under any circumstances, it being one of our favorite restaurants, but guests should feel at ease having this establishment be their first post-quarantine restaurant visit!

This was such a treat! prepared such a delicious meal. We’ve always been suckers for Spanish cuisine, and this did not disappoint!
Courtesy to .edtinoco and for the masterful meal. Can’t wait to enjoy our brunch this weekend, and Next’s “Tokyo at Home” the weekend after.
We are especially excited for the latter, since we had to cancel our Next Tokyo reservation due to the pandemic...

Had our first “Oriole at home Friday evening! As expected of , the flavors were explosive and incredible. The best part though, was that this meal was essentially BBQ comfort food perfected. When all the sauces inevitably meshed together on the plate, something new and delicious happened as a result. Quite literally, lick the plate good :)

We will be enjoying another meal this Saturday, along with a spirit free beverage. Can’t wait!

This was special! Eating thoughtfully prepared multi course at-home menu celebrating Alinea’s 15th anniversary was super memorable, delicious, and fun!
Between trying to plate food like the pros and painting our dessert on the table, it was the closest thing to Michelin level restaurant food we’ve had since the quarantine.
Hopefully, restaurants are safe to reopen soon, but until then, I can only dream that offers a new menu soon! @ Alinea

Cooking at home is great and all, but there is a certain beauty that the best chefs put into their food that is impossible to replicate. While it is only a sliver of the glory that is and , having these beautiful ice cubes from , with some solid whisky and delicious cocktail cherries from their take home list makes us excited for the things to come when this is all over.

At Home: Hanbun Revival!
This was good. Very, very good. Korean food is one of our favorites but few people do it better than the owners of Jeong and ! This was delicious... and a wonderful reminder of why we loved eating at Jeong so much before the pandemic.
We can’t wait to go back in person, but until then, we’ll keep an eye out for the next Hanbun Revival.

To-Go Stop 2: Family Meal.
This was... Very satisfying. What can we say, a fried chicken sandwich from one of the best chicken places in the city? The best 👍👍.
The soup and cake wasn’t shabby either! @ Roister
