Food, Art, & Wine! Tomorrow night! Last year I attended the Feast of the Senses and wrote a two part post on the event. You can find the archived articles here and here. John and I met wonderful people, visited beautiful galleries, spoke with talented chefs, sampled superb foods, and drank our fill of wine […]

Yearly Archives: 2006It has been a while, huh? I have had a lot of changes occuring in my non-food life over the last few weeks–some good, some bad. I have several posts to put up and many new posts from food blogging friends that I have yet to view and comment on. When I have more regular […] no comments Last weekend John, Paul, Mindy, and Ken went up to Paul’s farm in Wisconsin to pit-roast a lamb and sample the home-brew Paul and John made most recently. In addition to these culinary delights they also foraged for morels. Morel season has been upon us for a few weeks now, and thanks to a recent […] show 4 comments I just made a morel and asparagus bread and butter pudding for dinner tonight and it was delicious too. Shame they cost $34 a pound though! I love mushrooms on toast, and morels undoubtedly would be a nice choice for some mushroom croistini. Thanks for the wonderful closeup photos! $34 a pound fresh or dried? Maybe I should go into mushroom hunting… Oh my goodness… how jealous am I right now?! Morels are my favorite!! It sounds so delicious the way you prepared them! Tuesday night I had the luck to be invited by my friend Paul to the private grand re-opening party of the Berghoff Bar, or as it is now to be called — 17/West. Name changes aside, my worries were assuaged to a large degree when we walked in. The west wall has been taken out […] show 3 comments Greetings fellow Berghoff lover… Even though it wasn’t that great, mushroom strudel sounds amazing! What a great recipe idea… maybe I can try finding one and we can have a good replacement =) ah the Berghoff. Great memories. I love deep dish pizza, as all good Chicagoans do. However, if you were to ask a few where to find the best you would likely receive a multitude of answers. My favorite can be found in Hyde Park at Caffe Florian. This small business nestled in between used bookstores looks quite unremarkable at first […] show 11 comments That is a beautiful thing! At my interview day at University of Chicago, they fed us Eduardo’s, I think it was. I thought it was pretty good, so now I’m excited to try Caffe Florian and do a comparison :-) Mmmm… Florian Spinach. Definitely on my list of restaurants to visit when I am in Chicago next! Thanks! Florian spinach is certainly the classic. Some recent favorites of mine are: I like Gino’s East of Chicago. The pepperoni is to die for, tho my friends prefer what I call the “slab o’ sausage”- a pizza with a huge sausage patty on top. I can’t bring myself to eat it…. i will pay a visit to caffe florian for sure! those pictures look delicious and i have been meaning to take a little trip to hyde park for the past weeks and i think this pizza might very well seal the deal. i also really like art of pizza up north here in lakeview. perhaps we should do a pizza exchange program?? i have never once even gotten into pizzeria uno or due, they are always packed. Greetings fellow Berghoff lover… I’m sorry, that comment was for your next post! I was so interested in reading about pizza I forgot where I was… cheers! Carmen’s Pizza on Church Street in Evanston is my favorite Chicago pizza, though if ever back there, I’ll have have to try Florian’s. I grew up in Highland Park and this post made me homesick (not much can still do that, so GREAT job on the photos and copy). I live in AZ now and really miss Malnati’s, Eduardo’s and other delicious stuffed pizza restaurants that I grew up eating, and spinach is absolutely the best. I must try Caffe Florian next time I visit friends in the city. Your blog is lovely and inspiring. Thank you for sharing…now I am hungry! |
