I have a sweet-tooth. I know it. So when I heard there was this dessert tasting-menu at TRU in Chicago, I got all excited. Then I read the dress code: gentlemen must wear a jacket in the dining room. We like traveling light and it just didn’t make sense to haul a bulky jacket just [...]
Visited Earth with some friends recently. Everyone had a good time and were quite stuffed by the end of our meal (photos below!). So much so that we all opted to not have dessert. Almost.
