We continue our Chicago saga with one of Chef Paul Kahan’s popular restaurants and we choose from a short-list of three: Avec, The Publican, and Blackbird. At one point during scheduling this trip, I had all of them in, but in the end, I went with Blackbird and it’s ridiculously reasonable $22 lunch prix-fixe. Though [...]
Newly opened for brunch, I thought I’d stop by for a bite at Beast the other day while wandering Queen West. You know, before I had some random ice cream and a late lunch with friends over at The Hoof Café not two hours later. But that’s another tale.
It’s hard to say this, but having gone to the Hoof Café and The Black Hoof twice apiece in the span of a week, I think I’ve officially overdosed on the Hoof goodness for now. That being said, let me highlight some yummy things that are on the Hoof Café‘s current menu!
The Olympics are on and it dawns on me that I still haven’t finished my write-up of all the places I hit on my Vancouver trip… back in the fall. Well, consider this my effort to get caught up. Hopefully, the roundup will do someone some use. Or maybe you’ll feel like going to Vancouver [...]
My dining companions ran the gamut of reactions when I suggested we go for lunch at Gale’s Snack Bar. You see, Gale’s has been open for years (looks it too), and is located away from the main-and-trendy Queen St. East strip. I didn’t know it at the time, but Gale’s had been written up and [...]
So I had this whole Winterlicious rant for today, but I apparently have more to say than I thought I originally did. Which means that I’m just going to do the update post I had in the works instead. Restaurant names head to the original post I made about it. Frank @ The AGO Ate [...]
While I’ve covered most of my Seattle trip, I’m still catching up on the Vancouver portion of it. The day we arrived, it was cold and rainy (surprise!), and a hot steaming bowl of ramen at Motomachi Shokudo was a perfect way to start off our visit.
When going out to eat, I usually love to order different dishes and try new things. But as I mentioned in my last post, there are certain items that I always order – or regret not ordering. Suffice it to say, I haven’t explored Lady Marmalade‘s menu very much, despite the numerous visits I’ve paid [...]
We met up with a friend last Saturday morning at the recently opened The Hoof Café, The Black Hoof‘s newest outpost. Well, it’s more like a nearpost, as it’s located right across the street. With a totally different vibe and menu, we sat down and were presented with an issue: what to eat? I mean, [...]
Was over at High Street Fish And Chips for the first time last week after scoring some items from the William Ashley sale. While their signature Haddock was ordered, it was the Melton Mowbray pork pie that won my stomach.
