Garrett Popcorn Addiction
(Chicago) – Now I know why so many people are addicted to Garrett popcorn. After 5 years of living in Chicago, I fully understand now why people line up and wait for more many minutes, sometimes longer than an hour […]

Something’s Pleasantly Fishy at Calumet
(Chicago) – Calumet Fisheries is a veritable institution in Chicago; standing proud for more than 6 decades in the business is an unobjectionable proof. It has all the accolades of James Beard and badges of approval of culinary superstar’s like […]
Brunch Jammin at Jam
(Chicago) – We went to Jam for Sunday brunch to celebrate my good friend, Sally’s birthday. We usually do dinner out to a nice restaurant for birthdays but every one’s ridiculously busy during summertime and brunch was the only viable […]
Indian Cravings: Hema’s Kitchen

Breakfast at Uncle Mike’s
(Chicago) – Something’s really odd with this place. They open too early at 5am and closes too soon at 3pm. It is a Polish diner with typical diner fares like burgers and sandwiches – and yet, it has Filipino breakfast […]
