Chicago

On my way back from France, I stopped for a long weekend in one of my favorite American cities, Chicago. I love the food scene in Chicago - good, fresh, innovate food in fun (and not stuffy) restaurants. Most of the places we went to were small plate/tapas style, which was good for sampling the variety of dishes. The places we tried for dinner were Sunda (Japanese/sushi), Oak + Char (full post to come), Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba (traditional Spanish), and GT Fish + Oyster. We also ate at Au Cheval (one of the craziest burgers I've ever had), and Little Goat Diner for brunch. After falling in love with Eataly while I was in NYC last December, I had to squeeze a trip to Eataly Chicago on this trip too and it did not disappoint. Here are some of the highlights as well as some personal pictures!
