Food Maker, Chef, and Traveling Diner

Sometimes I think to myself I’m so terrible with keeping up with content but there’s so much to write about when it comes to food, life, and fun. And every day I’m so fortunate to be able to share the things I love and eat …
Saturday. My ending in the windy city
Saturday we woke up and prepared to get out on the town to see as much as we could on my last day in the city.
We took a walk and took pictures at Millennium Park with all the people lining up on the streets. Also Chicago was booming with people that day because it was the opening day of the Taste of Chicago. After our pictures we walked around to find a good spot to enter the food fare. Like anything some things were good and something not so much. here’s what we had
Bourbon Chicken
Mustard fried catfish
Red Beans and Rice with Grilled Jerk Chicken
After eating ourselves in a coma we had to head back to museum park so we could go to The Field Museum of natural history. They had a really amazing exhibit on whales and the biggest put together T-Rex in the country or maybe even the world I forget. We mused about there till it closed and finally I said my last good byes to grant park, museum park, and millennium park taking a couple pictures along the way.
We went back to our hotel and had a couple of drinks in the room determined not to spend too much money which we did anyway. And after that we went to the Signature Bar in the John Hancock Observatory. It was really beautiful to see the sky lit up at night so high up. We had a drink and then went to our final dinner suggested by the door man at Ditka’s a steak house.
Ditkas we had
seafood platter
king crab, oysters, big eye tuna, shrimp
Mikes Salad pecans, apples, cranberries, goat cheese, balsamic vinaigrette
Fillet three ways Horseradish, Oscar (béarnaise and asparagus) style, Blue Cheese
broccoli and mashed potatoes
We also had drinks which were ginger and peach vodka and ginger and vodka
The meal was satisfying and really filling but a wonderful way to end the evening, nothing too out of the ordinary just a good steak house dinner.
And with that my travels in Chicago ended
A early train ride into O’hare and I was back in LA in no time. I can’t wait till my next trip. I’ll be headed to Seattle August 3-9th
Thank you guys so much for coming along on my memories 🙂
