Life Indoors
American life screeched to a halt with the onslaught of coronavirus. Locally, as opposed to nationally, the government has done a fair job of protecting citizens. I was overcome with pride when Chicago earned an “A” for social distancing. Then the first sunny spring day arrived. The lakefront path filled with joggers and the 606 […]

Crab Rangoon from Thai Lagoon
Mmm! Special lunch delivery from a special admirer…Pad Thai from Wicker’s Park Thai Lagoon. I’m a known fan of Pad Thai – and the Lagoon makes a flavorful chicken noodle dish. It’s the side dish that diverted my attention, however. If I’m ordering Asian food of any variety and opt for an appetizer – 9 […]

Hot Scene at Ramen-San
Recently I’ve dined at the River North Ramen-San as well as the Fulton Market location. River North, as you know, is always jumping. Ramen-San is right next to the hugely popular Il Porcellino and beneath what was once Studio Paris. It’s crowded, being in that neighborhood, but well laid out. I cancelled my table reservation […]

No two cheese curds alike at L Woods
Had a business meeting at L Woods Tap and Pine Lodge in Lincolnwood on Saturday. Always good to touch base with the network crew and look toward the future. I got there first and sat down. The waitress got me a Coke and I said, you know what, I’m ordering apps while I wait. Opted […]

La Josie in West Loop – Lobster Tacos
Dined with my sisters at La Josie in West Loop over the weekend. Got there for a late night reservation after enjoying several of these 3 Floyds Yum Yums at Meg’s in Humboldt Park: Really good beer. The pride of Munster, Indiana. The Mexican hot spot on Randolph was still packed when we arrived at […]
