Gastronomical Journey

This weekend: FOOD!
A very hectic few days (more to follow later). But I am so very full that this is all I can think about right now. Very grateful for all the birthday spoils. It’s good to live in Chicago. :)

Thursday:
Lunch: Los Arcos - Pork and Tongue Tacos
Afternoon: DQ Ice Cream Cake
Dinner: Lula’s Café - Artisanal Pasta and Zucchini Cake w/ Honey Ice Cream

Friday:
Lunch: Bittersweet - Gazpacho and a Grilled Turkey Sandwich with Havarti. Sampled some of Felice’s Potato Watercress Soup and Egg Salad Sandwich. Walked away from the bakery section with hazelnut ball cookies, cute iced sugar cookies and some cinnamon cookies with a fancy schmancy name.
Dinner: La Bocca Della Verita - Calamari followed by Spinach Ravioli. Drinks at the Hopleaf after.

Saturday:
Lunch: Golden River – Lo Mein and Crab Rangoon
Dinner: Café Laguardia – Marinated Steak between Two Pieces of Fried Plantains

Sunday:
Lunch – Long John Silvers – Chicken Planks with Hush Puppies
Dinner – Wendy’s – Mediterranean Chicken Salad

Good God, I gotta hit the treadmill harder this week.

I wanna go too! Let me just dust off my running shoes... just in case I think about thinking about using them... for walking / crawling from one restaurant to the next.

I especially like Saturday's menu. Chinese & Latin love all in one day! I like La Bocca too, especially for a pre-movie gelato break. Delicious!

I hope that you're not still suffering from food comas. I'm glad your birthday went well!

I think my stomach is still recovering :P I'm not going to this again for a LONG while.

Saturday was my favorite too. If you haven't gone to Cafe La Guardia, you gotta try it! Cuban food is sooo good!
