I went to the Bongo Room with Tasha for my first meal back. I got heath & banana pancakes and Tasha got a breakfast sandwich. The pancakes were SMOTHERED with a sweet, sweet praline cream. It was a bit too much and the whole dish was just very rich and very sweet. Tasha's sandwich was good, but nothing special (however, the potatoes were ON POINT). Overall, a bit overpriced for just an average meal.
Braised beef shortribs and roasted pork shoulder with bacon and apricots. Good as always.
Dutch baby & bacon. Seriously some the best bacon ever. Thick-cut, right amount of bite. Perfection.
Uh this may have been my second time in a week. Bowtie Aglio (carefully avoided the sun-dried tomatoes), stuffed mushrooms (they're a bit on the saltier side, so of course I like them), and the always delish beef medallions with crispy onions. Tiramisu and toasted pound cake with caramelized bananas (one of my fave desserts). Delish, as always. Family style at this place will be the death of me.
Lunch with Lalita over what else- samosas and veggie soup. I didn't realize this earlier, but this is a completely vegetarian meal. I actually got mistaken for one of...them. Don't worry-I haven't actually crossed over to the dark side, the samosas are just really good (and not spicy!), and the veggie soup is perf (the broth=amazing!)
I didn't realize how big of a deal Wow Bao was to non-Chicagoans but apparently it's a pretty big deal. BBQ pork bao & a teriyaki chicken bowl. So0o0o filling but tooooo good. But then I went shopping after so I totally worked it all off, right?
XXXO
