Hi there! I stumbled upon your blog via another blog and I’ve been drooling over your pretty blog, recipes and photos! Just bookmarked this as one of my favorite food blogs! I’m also born and bred in Chicago – I love this city….even the nasty winters =).

I have only spent a day here and there in Chicago. We like to stop and eat when we travel through. It is a gorgeous city with a lot to offer.

Lou Malnati’s is my favorite pizza too – specifically the “Lou”! Excited to try out some of these places you mentioned (a drink at Public has been on my list for a while)!

Oh, fun, it’s such a great city – I could live there if it weren’t for those winters!

In reply to Claire. ha, yes... a $12 cocktail is worth it for no TV :). I'll be sure to check out Barrelhouse Flat next time, thanks!

Sometimes it’s so fun being a tourist in your hometown! I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago but not made it there yet, fingers crossed for next year 🙂

So…you basically just named all my favorite places to eat. 🙂 If Violet Hour is your thing, I highly recommend trying Barrelhouse Flat on your next trip. The first floor can get a little…Lincoln Park-y, but upstairs is very cool: lots of plush upholstery, antique fixtures, wingback chairs, and–this is what makes $12 cocktails worth it to me–no TVs!
