what? more eating?

We ate at The Publican on our last night in Chicago. It was one of the BEST restaurants I have EVER had the privilege of enjoying.

{to start- fresh oysters}

{next- yellowtail crudo with pumpkin seeds and pork rillettes}

{octopus, bollito misto, and boudin blanc- superb!}

{cauliflower and squash formado}

 {liquid desert was ordered for dessert - limoncello for the ladies and some sort of pirate rum for the gentlemen. The waiter walks by and drops of an apple-cherry tart and says, "Deal with it!" love it}

chowing down in chi town...

I have been trying to figure out how to organize the Chicago trip pictures so that they are somewhat categorized. Since we did a lot of dining while we were there it was a pretty obvious decision to start with the food pictures :)

{"Get it with chow, that's how we serve it in the south" said the waiter from Illinois}

{orange juice served on a silver platter- umm, yes please.}

{Austrian baked eggs- delish}

{we walked to the local Wicker Basket grocery to pick up lunch}

{riding the "L" like a local}

{Gino's East for deep dish pizza- "Look at that paddy!"}

{Ann Sathers for breakfast - "Culinary masterpiece"}

{topas style at Frasca}
