A 'Crabby' Lunch!

December 9, 2015 Pooja Naik

Shaw’s Crab House is every pescetarian’s dream. Which is why I had the most enjoyable experience at this beloved River North restaurant, recently. I met with their PR Manager Susie Riskind over lunch, and had been anticipating our meeting for quite sometime. My anticipation was pleasantly met with some phenomenal food and wonderful service.

That’s What I’m TACOing About!

November 15, 2015 Pooja Naik

My first encounter with BarBakoa was at The Chicago Gourmet festival this year. As I made my rounds through the Mexican Food Pavilion, at the event, I tasted some of their samplings and fell in love. It was nice to see Chef Dudley Nieto himself serving everyone with such gusto. He even took the time to have a quick conversation with me about BarBakoa & my blog, and extended an invitation to do a seafood tasting.

The TURBOTnator!

October 25, 2015 Pooja Naik

There are very few things that can get me to drive in rush hour traffic from the city to the suburbs. Other than, a recent invitation from Chef Michael Lachowicz for a 10-Course Country French Food tasting at his Restaurant Michael’s new George Trois dining room.  The concept is influenced by two men whom Chef Lachowicz was himself influenced by - his father and uncle.
