A Stroll down Southport Corridor (adults only)

Posted in blogger, Chicago, City, Date, Datenight, Dinner, food blogger, Lifestyle, Restaurant, Wine by

The Southport Corridor may be known for strollers, moms and boutiques, but recently, there has been a surge in places for adults to play. So ditch those strollers, grab a glass of wine, and take a peek into some adult friendly places popping up on the Southport Corridor.

Coda Di Volpe-Ā  Boasting Southern Italian fare like pizza, steak and seafood, they are most known for their Neapolitan pizza that comes with a side scissors to cut your own slices. Chef Thompson brings his own flair with a seasonal menu, house-cured meats, along with a contemporary vibe that all creates a great spot on Southport.

Coda has a great wine list (award winning in fact) and a creative cocktail menu.Ā  As for starters, my absolute favorite appetizer is the goat cheese with beets appetizer (I am not sure this is on the menu anymore, sigh…) and the pork & prosciutto Meatballs.

Howā€™s your Friday night looking? #chicago #tailofthefox

Next, pizza! The Funghi and Diavolo pizza are both delicious, but really, they all look fantastic.Ā  Thompson crafts traditional VPN-certified Neapolitan pizzas served with authentic pizza shears that adds an element of fun to the dining experience.

Next up, pasta. All the pastas are made in-house and available gluten free upon request. A stand out dish is theĀ Trombette Trapanese made with Coda’sĀ fennel sausage, tomato, almond, garlic, and basil. It’s also just beautiful to look at.

They are also now serve brunch on the weekend. Itā€™s perfect for date night or a night out with the ladies.

Ella Elli- The newest addition to the 4 star restaurant group, is the wine bar, Ella Elli. This sexy, romantic spot is so swanky, I felt like I had been transported downtown to a fancy hotel in River North. The over sized lanterns, fireplace and couches, make for THE perfect date night spot.

We love Fridays! Stop in for a drink at the bar before we fill up! šŸ“ø: @nadia.ryan

Ā The wine list is extensive, but Pinot Noir Rose by Willamette Valley really paired nicely with our cheese board.Ā  We also tried the creamy mushroom toast with creme faiche and thyme, this would make me come back. Everything isĀ presented beautifully and our server paired everything really well with our wine.

They have pizza great for sharing, pasta and burgers. The burger is supposed to be outstanding, as well as their brunch menuĀ  When I visited, we shared the charcuterieĀ  and toasts, which really can be a meal in itself. Next time, the burger is on my list.

@Eater_Chicago named our pizzas as some of the hottest in Chicago!! Have you tried them yet?

A post shared by Ella Elli (@ellaellichicago) on

If you need a date night, Ella Elli should absolutely be on your list.

Tied House– Just opening in February 2018, this is brand new on Southport. The reviews are rolling in and everything aboutĀ Tied HouseĀ has been outstanding.

Schubas TavernĀ has been around for three decades, and now there is a new additionĀ  with the opening of Tied House,Ā the ownersā€™ new restaurant next door. The modern architecture and the courtyard that separates the restaurant from Schubas with a giant outdoor fireplace just dazzles from the inside and out.

Schubas will continue to have the same menu, Tied House’s chef, Debbie Gold (who happens to beĀ  James Beard Award-winning chef) to create her own menu, including short rib, crudo, porridge with beets and house made ice cream.

Tied House will be perfect for pre and post concerts and is a great addition to the area looking for more “adult” friendly dining.

With so many options now on Southport, there is really something for everyone.

Until next time.

Bring Your Own Date and Booze: My Favorite BYO Spots in the City

Posted in blogger, BYOB, Chicago, Chicago Restaurant, City, Date, Datenight, Dinner, food blogger, Lifestyle, Restaurant by

Gold Fancy National Wine Day Social Media Graphic

BYO (bring your own booze, beer or wine) is one of those great restaurant qualities thatĀ  many look for when dining out. It’s cheaper (usually), much more casual and a great place to dine with groups.Ā Chicago has an abundance of BYO options ranging from casual to upscale dining, so I have rounded up a list of my favorite spots throughout the city.

Sushi Mon – Located in Lincoln Park, this BYO sushi restaurant has a wide variety of sushi rolls, sushi bowls, pressed sushi and an impressive list of veggie rolls. My personal favorites are the Godzilla, V6 and Sparking rolls (see all three below). They recently expanded from one tiny room to now a much bigger space. The service is friendly, prices are great and no corkage fee. Go check it out and tell them I sent you šŸ™‚

90 Miles Cuban Cafe– My family has been coming to 90 Miles for years now for their traditional Cuban cuisine. We have celebrated graduations, anniversaries and birthdays here. It is huge, has an outdoor seating and the decor all make for a fun dining atmosphere. The empanadas and ropa vieja are not to be missed, some of the best I have ever had (sorry mother-in-law!)

The service is top-notch, especially since thereĀ are many large groups at time. They take reservations and it is definitely recommended. In addition to being BYOB, they have a sangria and mojito mix, so bring wine or rum they will make you a cocktail. There are a few locations in the city. To find out more information, clickĀ here.

1.Ā 3333 W Touhy Ave, Lincolnwood, IL 60712

2. 3101 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60618

3. 2540 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Home Bistro Chicago– The first time I dined at the cozy and quaint Home Bistro, was on a date (with my now husband years ago) when we first started dating. Located in Lakeview, with a constant changing New American menu, along with no corkage fee, this is the ideal date night spot.Ā  They have an option for a prix fix on Wednesdays andĀ Sunday brunch. For parties of 7 of more, they have a family style prix fixed menu at $45/person. They take reservations and are highly recommended.

Caro Miro- For our very first Valentine’s Day (7 years ago…), we came to the Italian BYO Caro Miro and have gone several times since. Located in Ravenswood, this cozy, neighborhood spot has homemade pastas with huge portions, big enough to share. The pesto filled gnocchi is the best and chicken parmesan is also another favorite. There is not a corkage fee, but if you plan on sharing entrees, there is a $4 sharing fee. They recently expanded their dining room and take parties to up to 80 people now. Reservations are taken for parties of 4 or more. Bring your appetite and a bottle or two for some delicious Italian food.

Semiramis- This LebaneseĀ restaurant is intimate, welcoming and the food is fantastic. I love the mixed grilled platter, falafel, and hummus are delicious. There is plenty of street parking, but it is located right off the Kedzie Brown Line stop. There is a corkage fee and don’t take reservations, but so worth the wait. Promise.

There are plenty of BYO restaurants to choose from in Chicago and a little something for everyone. Now get those appetites and bottles poppin’. šŸ™‚

Valentine’s Day: The Family Way

Posted in blogger, Date, Datenight, Easy Meals, easy recipe, entertaining, family, family friendly, Family meal, food blogger, Lifestyle, motherhood, party, valentine's day by

Before having our son, my husband and I rarely went out on Valentine’s Day. It’s so much more fun to stay in and cook a big meal of all our favorites (and also a lot cheaper!). Now with a toddler, we still celebrate with a home cooked meal, but it’s slightly different. If you are staying in with your family, I put together an easy meal for you with a fast cleanup that you and your family to enjoy together this Valentine’s Day.

Drink- Shirley Temples

One of my favorite drinks to order as a child was a Shirley Temple. I always felt so grown up. To be honest, I occasionally still order them. This makes the perfect Valentine’s Day drink because kids love it, it’s festive and adults even make it more “adult” like if they’d like šŸ™‚Ā  I prefer using tall plastic SOLO cups because really, kids and glassware just don’t mix.

IMG_1512.JPGIngredients

  • 1Ā (12 ounce)Ā bottle Grenadine
  • Ice
  • 1Ā (2 Liter)Ā bottle lemon-lime soda
  • Maraschino cherriesĀ for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 ounce Grenadine over ice in a glass.
  2. Top with 8 ounces lemon-lime soda.
  3. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

Main Dish- Pizza with Heart Shaped Pepperoni

Heart shaped pizza is such a fun Valentine’s Day dinner, but to save time on making it, why not just buy your favorite pizza and make heart shaped pepperoni? It’s easy and you can do it together.

You can use a cookie cutter, but I just used scissors and cut the pepperoni into heart shapes.

Heat it up and serve on SOLO plates. These can later serve as crafts for your kids to color and make their own hearts!

Dessert- Cake “Fondue”

Now, for the best part, dessert. Instead of the traditional cheese fondue, replace the cheese with frosting. This cake “fondue” is so fun to dip your mini cake pops into different icings and everyone customize their own Valentine’s Day treat.

Back to the Basics: Grassroots Eatery

Posted in blogger, Chicago, Dinner, family friendly, food blogger by

There are several places to eat on Southport Corridor in Chicago. But there isn’t one that can truly claim they are farm-to-table. And to be honest, that terms gets thrown around so much now. But what does it actually mean? AtĀ Grassroots EateryĀ atĀ 3747 N Southport Ave, they are a neighborhood eatery serving American contemporary farm-to-table dishes. Everything is sourced from local and Southwest Michigan Farms. All the produce and protein is hand selected by the owner at places likeĀ Kaminski Farm in Three Oaks, Michigan and produce fromĀ Frank Farms in Berrien, Michigan. Additionally, they grow their own herbs, tomatoes, and kale. There is nothing more farm-to-table than that.

Some stand out dishes on the dinner menu is the pork chop. It is a 10 oz organic, Iowa raised pork chop served with roasted sweet potatoes and pickled Red Haven peaches.

Or the cheeseburger fromĀ Kaminki Farm that is 14 day dry aged house ground beef with a tomato jam and apple smoked bacon. One of my personal favorites is the buffalo cauliflower and house-made mac & cheese with an option to add mushrooms, bacon or lobster. Absolutely fantastic.

They also serve several local beer, spirits and wine. The Pinot Noir from Dablon Winery (learn more about this wineryĀ here.) is delicious and the Smoke & Spice cocktail with mescal and jalapeno was perfect.

What I also like aboutĀ Grassroots is the kids menu. Too many times have we dined with Noah and the only options are either cheese pizza or chicken nuggets. Not nutritious for him at all. What’s unique is they are offer the same organic and free range food like the regular menu. Even the cheeseburger on the kids menu is a 14 day aged ground beef patty. Best part, all kids meals are $6 dollars.

They serve weekend brunch that includes $15 dollar bottomless mimosas and $5 dollar bloody mary’s. Other specials during the week are 1/2 price bottles on wine on Wednesdays and a daily 3 course pre-fix menu for $27 dollars.

It is definitely a place you can take your family, head to brunch with friends or out on a date night (a great location because it is attached toĀ Mercury Theater and next to the Music Box). Try getting back to the basics and enjoy a true farm-to-table meal at the approachable Grassroots Eatery.

Let me know what you think.

5 things to take your Turkey Day to the next level

Posted in appetizer, blogger, Chicago, City, Dinner, Easy Meals, easy recipe, family, family friendly, Family meal, Food, food blogger, foodie, Holiday, Lifestyle, mom, recipe, Recipe Review, toddler, Tourist, travel, Wine, wineries by

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, there are a lot of things we need to do. Whether it is cooking, creating the right place setting or finding the perfect hostess gift, Thanksgiving can be overwhelming. I have rounded out some great recipes and fun gift ideas to make your Turkey Day a little more enjoyable with your family and friends.

Beet Bruschetta with Lavender- Vanilla Honey Drizzle

IMG_0156 (1)I don’t know what says more than Thanksgiving than beets. It’s like a must right? So why not take those beets and turn them into something fun that everyone would like?! This recipe is from the Ryanne, the blogger atĀ Pineappple Expression.Ā Her stuff is always amazing and under 40 minutes, it is sure to be a serious crowd pleaser.

Prep and Assembly time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes Prep
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:Ā 

  • 1 French baguette loaf of bread
  • 1 (5.02 oz) small package of Boursin Cheese (garlic and herbs flavor is best)
  • 1 medium sized red beet
  • 1 package of fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lavender
  • 1/2 of a vanilla bean
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
  • kosher salt

Directions:

  1. First, preheat the oven to 375F. Ā Peel and slice the beet into 1/4 slices. Ā Place the slices on a roasting pan and toss with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper and a few sprigs of thyme. Ā Roast the beets for 30 minutes, but flip after 15 for a more even cook. Ā When the beets are done, pull from the oven and let them cool.
  2. While the beets cool, slice the bread as you would for bruschetta. Ā Coat lightly with olive oil and place in the oven under the broiler for a maximum of 5 minutes. Ā The slices should still be soft, but have a nice golden color to the tops.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the honey, lavender and vanilla bean (scrape the insides out to produce the black flecks) along with the apple cider vinegar. Ā  I love this combo!!
  4. After the beets have cooled, chop into cubes as evenly as you can. Ā 1/4 inch on each side. Ā First cut into strips, then rotate the knife as you move through.
  5. To assemble the toasts, use a butter knife to spread a layer of Boursin cheese onto each slice of bread. Ā  Next, crumble on a small mountain of the roasted beets. Ā Using a spoon, drizzle a little bit of the honey mixture over the tops of each toast. Ā Sprinkle with some coarse kosher salt or flaky sea salt on top. Ā  For more pizzazz, use the sprigs of thyme to garnish the plate.
  6. Enjoy!

Chicago Gourmet Recap: 5 products I discovered

Posted in blogger, Chicago, Chicago Restaurant, City, Dinner, Food, food blogger, foodie, Restaurant, Sunday Funday, Tourist, travel, Wine, wineries by

Chicago Gourmet is one of those events I had been wanting to attend for a long time. I finally had the opportunity and was thrilled to be among the best chefs, restaurants and brands in the world. Lucky for me, it was extra special because Chicago Gourmet was celebrating their 10th anniversary.

The week long event is thrown by the Illinois Restaurant Association along with the title sponsor Bon Appetit magazine every year in Millennium Park. It brings together renowned chefs, restaurants and wine and spirits. There are tastings, book signings, cooking demos, and wine and cocktail seminars throughout the event. It is truly a “foodie” experience.

This was my first year attending and it will not be my last. I sampled everything from Thai food, types of honey, wine, sliders, charcuterie, truffle mac & cheese and so on. I left discovering so many products I fell in love with. Even a few from brands I have never heard of. Read more atĀ Restaurants & Recipes

Old is New Again: The Berghoff

Posted in appetizer, blogger, Chicago, Chicago Restaurant, City, Datenight, Dinner, family, family friendly, Food, food blogger, foodie, Lifestyle, Photography, Restaurant, Tourist, travel, Wine by

My parents grew up going toĀ The BerghoffĀ in downtown Chicago. Most Chicagoanā€™s probably have. I used to go as a kid, but the last time I was there, I was in high school. In fact, I thought for the longest time it was closed. Recently, I had the opportunity to dine and tour the restaurant and was so impressed. Not only because of the history, but the revival of the menu. Ā The Berghoff is known for their German food like Weiner Schnitzelā€™s, bratwursts and giant Bavarian pretzels. Of course, those dishes are legendary, but there are new additions to the menu that are more modern and appealing to a younger generation. More contemporary dishes that even include certified gluten-free options. But first, let me tell you about the history and how it all began.Ā 

IMG_0964

The Berghoff has been around since 1898, and is rich in Chicago history. Ā Herman Berghoff posted right outside the Chicagoā€™s World Fair in 1893, similar to a pop-up cafe. His success from that, is how he made enough money to bring his family to Chicago and open his cafe. Ā

End of Prohibition- 1935 (Photo Courtesy of The Berghoff)

During the prohibition, the bar remained opened by selling a ā€œNear Beerā€ which contained less than 0.5% alcohol. This made it possible for Herman to sell and stay open. After prohibition ended, The Berghoff was issued Chicagoā€™s first Liquor License. Chicago has honored this every year and they will always receive the first license.

IMG_7307

The Berghoff had a separate menā€™s only bar until 1969, when Gloria Steinem demanded service and this ended the male-only streak.

Berghoff-Cafe-East-Room-Row-Dining-2

Now for the food. We sampled a lot of everything, some classic dishes and contemporary ones. I also had the opportunity to meet Chef Matt and Chef Javier. Their love for not only the food, but their passion for working at the restaurant shined through. They have been at the restaurant for years and are dedicated to making great food. Chef Matt went into detail on how everything is made in house.Ā With a bakery and 4 kitchens in the 50,000 square feet space, everything is made on site. That is something unique and many Chicago restaurants canā€™t claim.Ā To take a closer look at the behind the scenes in the bakery, lookĀ here.

Berghoff_Chef Matt.jpg

IMG_8605.jpg

With all that being said, my top 3 dishes are:

3. Red Velvet Cake- I am not usually one for dessert or sweets in general, but this red velvet cake is fluffy with the right amount of sweetness. Served with a side of vanilla ice cream, this dessert will make anyone go out of their way to dine here.

IMG_7303

2. Braised Short Ribs- This is fantastic. Melts in your mouth good. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and topped with fried onions. The textures are just right. Perfect comfort food during the cooler months.

IMG_0971

1.Butternut Squash Lasagna- Layered with diced butternut squash and Manchego, then topped with grilled asparagus and glazed walnuts, it is outstanding. The combination of the sweetness from the squash with the cheese is perfect. It is light enough to eat year-round and vegetarians should go crazy over it. Definitely a stand out dish.

IMG_0972

The Berghoff is also known forĀ Oktoberfest. This runs from September 7th- October 7th. With live music and food specials, it will put you in the mood for the fall festivities ahead.

Whether you are from Chicago or here to visit, The Berghoff is a must stop for great food and some Chicago history.

Until next timeā€¦

SafeHouse with our Junior Spy

Posted in appetizer, Baby, blogger, Chicago, City, Dinner, family, family friendly, Food, food blogger, foodie, Life, Lifestyle, mom, motherhood, Restaurant, toddler, Tourist, travel by

We are always on the hunt for fun activities to do as a family. Things that are different and unique, but still kid friendly. We recently went as a family to the spy-themed restaurant,Ā SafehouseĀ onĀ 60 E. Ontario in River North and had such an adventure! This was probably the most unique dining experiences we have had in Chicago. I am usually not one for themed restaurants, but they go all out and stay in “character” the entire time. Ā There is so much for everyone to do, you could spend hours just exploring. But not only is it entertaining for the entire family, the food is INCREDIBLE. Read more atĀ Motherhood & Family
