Honey Apple Bundt Cake
I made this cake to bring for Rosh Hashana, so the key flavors were apples and honey. I used roughly 1/4 cup bass wood honey and 1/2 cup buckwheat honey. The buckwheat is a very dark, stronger flavored honey, which will likely impact the flavor. Yes, I'm trying to say, don't use cheap honey. -
Lou Malnati's
Lou Malnati's Lou Malnati's has several locations. Luckily, one is just a few blocks from our hotel. Good thing we didn't make a long drive for this one. All four of us thought it stunk!Starting with the Stuffed Spinach Bread, it looks so damn good, especially when you cut it open and the cheese oozes out. There was no spinach flavor though, just green stuff... -
Toast Two
For our last breakfast in Chicago, our plan was to go to Pasticerria Natalina, but alas, they were closed. A bakery not open before 12 noon? What's up with that? We were starving and headed to my list of back-ups and decided on Toast Two Toast Two. We loved their signage, and the inside is lined wit... -
Moto
I expected Moto Moto to be more gadgety, maybe more scientific. The website doesn't really reflect how comical and playful their food is. It was fun and almost childish, allowing adults to play with our food. Right from the beginning, your menu is presented on an edible butter cracker with a dollop of marscapone, a perfectly cooked asparagus, and asparagus pure... -
Hot Doug's
We waited on a 40 minute (roughly) line to eat at Hot Doug's Hot Doug's, a kitschy place with a pretty impressive menu. Doug's offers lots of different meats (one vegetarian dog) and several toppings and a wide range of prices. Of course we wanted to try the Chicago-style Dog with "everything" (pickle, relish, mustard, tomato, caramelized onions). We didn't realize that the relish (... -
Meli Cafe & Juice Bar
This morning, we went to Meli Cafe & Juice Bar, had one of the best breakfasts ever, and I'm debating going back tomorrow. They had so many awesome things on the menu that if I lived in Chicago, I would be a loyal regular.They make their own marmalades... I loved both the strawberry and apricot, and their whipped honey butter is even better. It's ultra light with a touch of honey and you could seriously eat this in spoonfuls.
