Peaking all over town
Last week, I returned to Colorado Springs for a weekend with my friends, enjoying the fresh mountain air. By the way, Chicago is dealing with poor air quality because of Canadian wildfires. Cough. This post isn’t really about food or wine. Instead, I focused on the feelings I had being back in a place where…
Wu-Tang with a side of Tacos
When you typically start the week, Wednesday isn’t really a highlight nor does any good story begin with, “Last Wednesday, things got lit!” or “I can’t wait for Wednesday, because I can really throw it back!”. However, last Wednesday was pretty bumpin’ with Wu-Tang Wednesday at Dos Santos. The former Southside Johnny’s location has really…
Nordic Nibbles
Nordic traditions are not on my radar nor am I even familiar with any eats or recipes. But, smørrebrød sandwiches (Danish, for bread & butter) popped up in my quest to learn more about a new Scandanavian restaurant opening, with bright salmon, pickled herring, and cured meats. What is special about this adventure is that…
Sweet & Savory Decisions
This hidden gem came on the radar months ago on Instagram. Interestingly enough, I am not a huge sweets fan in the slightest. I typically eat so much beforehand that the top button of my jeans is undone, and dessert seems exhausting. But when I came across the word SAVORY on the menu, I piped…
A StreetEats Quest to Piglatin Cocina
When Guy Fieri tore through town in his red Chevy Camaro on Season 24 of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I wasn’t sure where he would end up. It was all very mysterious, and yet how did we question it? Piglatin had been a staple food truck downtown for some time. When the episode premiered, it…
Ahoy Cap’tain at Bonny & Read
Many people will roll their eyes at you in Colorado when you say you can’t find decent seafood. Often, I hear, “Seriously, we’re in a land-locked state, go to Seattle if you want good sea bass!” I get it, folks, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t intrigued when I read about the opening of Bonny…
A Trip Down The Rabbit Hole
Unbeknownst to me when I set up my visit to The Rabbit Hole that I was venturing down the stairs to what used to be the city morgue. I was mid-gulp of my Rosé when this revelation was revealed, and yes, the hairs on my neck stood up. Our table of eleven nervous brave patrons…
Eat with the Kings | NaRai Siam Cuisine
I don’t typically head to a restaurant to satisfy my desire for Thai food. My Friday night consists of pajamas, Parks and Recreation on Netflix, and a delivery of Pad Thai around 9:30pm. I’m serious. Well, folks, things are a-changin’ in 2017. I selected a sensible outfit for my trip off the couch, and headed…
Wrangled up at Cowboy Star
For several months, I have had Cowboy Star on my culinary radar, browsing their menu weekly with the anticipation of a young child on their way to Disney World. I reviewed the dinner menu and felt that it was a bit pricey for my very small dainty wallet. However, the lunch menu had some of…
