Very cool, glad to help. Green Zebra has long been on my list but I’ve never settled on it 100%. I really like the brunch menu – maybe in November. Thanks for reading.

Just got back from a great trip to Chicago. Used many of your reccos and was not let down. We hit up 2 Sparrows for an amazing breakfast, Do-Rite Donuts, XOCO, Coco Pazzo Cafe, and Lou Malnati’s. We also had a terrific dinner at Green Zebra (we are vegetarian), which I would highly recommend. Thanks, and keep it up!

Thanks Andrew. It will be weird leaving the midwest, but hopefully worth it…and after 32 years here plus 27 years of education it is time.

Wow Anna, thanks, that really means a lot…then again, recommending Alinea is a total no-brainer.
Seriously though, I do this blog mostly for myself so it is always awesome to hear that feedback directly.
Eventually it will return to its prior rambling format – promise.

I don’t care how long it takes you to post your reviews because your blog is by far my favorite food blog. It helped me decide where to go when we went Chicago for New Year’s and we had some of the best meals ever, particularly at Tru, Alinea, and 2 breakfasts at The Bongo Room!! Thank you so much for incredible blog!

I hear you and really appreciate (1) the public good you provide and (2) the fact that you didn’t succumb to the temptation of simply relegating dining experiences to a Flicker. And good look with the move!

Thanks for reading – but I’d think one can visually differentiate donut from egg sandwich from pop tart from bread pudding, no?

It is what it is. I visit more places in a single trip than many blogs review in a year. Ideally it shall return to normal after the move, but for now the alternative is ~6 month delays.

Great review, I like the new writing format and hopefully it will make your life easier when you come back from holidays needing to write 20+ reviews. For what its worth, matching the descriptions and the photos got a little confusing (with the exception of the pop tart).

Best breakfast ever! I must admit, it’s going to take some time to get used to the new format.
