Dishing out our first dinner from @BusyBeeCulinary. Bahn Mi Bowl with sauce and spicy yogurt. Kicky and satisfying. Pop in a 325 oven 20 minutes. Easy peasy and a great change of pace. @whatpennyeats

With the help of my new best friend and personal shopper at Nordstrom’s, Sigrid, I will be on the fashion runway at the family wedding in Detroit later this month.

@ Andros Taverna. I forgot to mention the Mediterranean octopus. So tender. Mmm! instagram.com/p/CRp5borjpeR/…

Laura Yee just brought me this homemade sourdough bread. It’s still warm and I am planning my entire gustatory day around this treasure.

Fried chicken dinner for two at The Split Rail (2500 W Chicago Ave, Chicago). Too delicious to describe.

Dinner @ 10-day old @LYRAGREEK. Beautifully served fish of the day: Branzino. @whatpennyeats

Crispiest potatoes ever @LYRAGREEK. A must-have side dish. @whatpennyeats

My third time at Art Smith’s Reunion for his legendary fried chicken. What are you waiting for?

A caramelized onion bialy from Mindy’s Bakery. Need I say more?

Kyuramen @ 6 W. Hubbard St. Nine varieties of ramen plus super-delish apps, such as tempura shrimp, agedashi tofu, steamed pork Bao buns and more. Just opened this weekend. Great addition to River North. See my video @whatpennyeats.

I’m raising a glass to the new iteration of Bittersweet. Bravo. Prosciutto and cheeses and olives. And still wonderful sweets.
