2026 is already off to a weird start, but the NYE dinner we had at is a silver lining. Caviar tarts, crudo so we good we ran it back, the best sweetbreads I’ve ever had (Chicago-style with giardiniera), pasta, Dover sole with caviar beurre blanc, glittery Croquembouche, truffle profiteroles, and parsnip cheesecake with - yes - more caviar. Here’s to a year full of more delicious food, unhinged memes in my stories, and whatever else life brings. #frenchfood #chicagofood
Things I’ve put in my mouth and really enjoyed over the last month or two dump. In order:

(1) Cheese pizza slice from Chomp Pizza - a little window in a CTA station in Pilsen. Perfect undercarriage, exactly what you want it to be. Get two slices out of the gate because you’ll end up going back in.

(2, 3) A couple of standouts from one of our favorite restaurants,. Bavette Steak & Sauce Anchoiade, Cured Napa Cabbage. Cherry Belle Radish & Bone Marrow Custard on Toast.

(4-7) Korean BBQ fix at our favorite, Woo Chon. They still use charcoal and make all of the bonchon themselves. This place is highly underrated.

(8, 9) One staple and one special from a Japanese spot we frequent,. First, the grilled mackerel; we almost always order this. Next, a special I hadn’t seen before: chicken and plum tempura sushi roll.

(10) Smash burger popup by at (Monday Night Football by and )

(11, 12) Gave the Omakase a try at. Mini ikura don and my favorite flight from the omakase.

(13) Various pastries from one of our go-tos,. In focus is the guava custard danish.

(14, 15) Dinner with friends at. People are obviously enthralled by the Uni rice (first), but my favorite dish was the glazed baby back ribs with mozzarella.

(16, 17) Various pastries from a Mexican bakery in Pilsen, Panaderia Nuevo León. The turtle concha is obviously cute as hell.

(18, 19) Tacos at the, “Yes! Yes! yes!” spot itself,. These might be $6/pop but the homemade tortillas always hit, the meat is always succulent and delicious, and the vibes always on point.

(20) Silly

Thanks for always trying with the meats but I am not thankful for “steak” bites #arbys #thanksgivingdinner #fastfood #foodreview #chicagofood
Went to a 2 year old’s birthday party. Thanks for another year serving up Chicago’s best bowls of ramen 🍜🎉 #chicagofood #ramen🍜
A 14 course taco omakase from could fix you (available Fridays & Saturdays)

Disclosure: this meal was #invited but it completely blew me away. I highly recommend it.

Truffle ice cream on bread. That’s the tweet. 🫠

in Wicker Park is doing Mediterranean food that actually makes you rethink what’s possible - from the beautifully unhinged bread & butter situation to literally blowtorching our dessert tableside (a core memory). Short rib orzo, the whole branzino, that ceviche, so much joy.

PS - that host Shakeup Wednesdays, an LGBTQIA+ guest bartender series in the back bar. Next one is THIS Wednesday 10/23. Pull up.

#gifted - thank you to the team at TAMA for hosting us!
