Ok, so this post is about a month late. See I went to Chicago again. Same exact week as I went last year. This year was yet again for work, only for a completely new job. The trip reminded me how important good friends are. My friend that I was visiting had a pretty intense health scare while I was there and my trip became something very different than we both imagined.
The incident led to me having a limited, different and altogether strange experience. Instead of going on and on about some amazing meals all I can offer are snapshots of Chicago. Small breaks in the crazyness that was a few weeks ago.
Good to know that kids will still run after a moving vehicle that plays 'Turkey in the Straw.'
A mint julep from Q Barbeque that led to an impromptu tasting of High West Whiskeys.
The biggest macaron ever from Hendrickx Belgian Bakery.
And a big thanks to the ex-pat San Franciscan bartender who treated me to a few shots and a sympatheic ear!
Till next year Chicago!
