FOOD! 
FAMOUS CHEFS! 
NEW YORK CITY! 
The Second Annual International Chefs Congress is into day 2! Came early to party eat good food, and so far I have been able to keep up with that plan!
I am getting lots of good ideas and am looking forward to other discussions over the remaining days. I've eaten at Tocqueville, E.U., & Inoteca; all three I can...

Tis vacation time! "So long" Windy City for a short while, and "Hello" Big Apple!
There is a three day culinary convention there, and I will also be spending some extra time there to EAT poor abused/mistreated plants and animals along with other "morally questionable" events/items. Yaaayyyy!

I was looking for a chill evening today, and I basically got what I desired with a dinner at Avec, in the West Loop area. Avec has a very nice wine, only European, & beer, no draft, selection with capable partenders/servers to steer one into a pleasant direction. At first, one might think that the wines by the glass selection is a little bit pricey,...

Wanting to take a visitor out to dinner on a Monday evening; I took the easy way and went to Lula Cafe, in Logan Squre. It was a very busy evening there, but we were able to get seats at a bar for drinks. Service was good and as prompt as it was able. The wine selection has always been pleasant, where I had a...

Have not been doing much lately; trying to save my money for a week plus NYC trip along with a cooking convention. The one last year was pretty. Got to meets lots of high-end chefs, ideas, connections, and good hands-on seminars. Plus, I did get to eat quite well!
Yet, now that I am in Chcago, I am able to quite well, as well. I...

In some ways, I do not understand these blogs/journals. I mean, if I want to state something, I will generally respond to someone's querry, but it does not really make sense, to me, to state random bullshit on the screen. I am not worried about offending; it is just that the thoughts I have roling around in my head seem kind of common sense(in the...

Happy July the 4th, my fellow Americans!
PLEASE, remember that you are supposed to be a free and individualistic society. I hope that everyone does well and has fun; EVERYONE/EVERYTHING/WHATEVER! We do not have much else to do than that.

Event away my good man. If it has anything to do with culinary advancement I am all for it. You just make me jealous. I wish I could go to NY for this.
So much with venting my frustrations, now onto venting my distress.
Nothing much new going on; same old shit, just a different day. I have been enjoying the farmers markets in the area, as a way to see more variety and meet the people growing food, of which, they deserve to be proud. It is cool to look around and see what grows between visits...
