Me standing on our booth for the sake of this shot at Nookies. Gastrodamus (hand shown) and I split the vegetarian friendly Green Goddess - eggs, swiss chard, asparagus, swiss cheese, and hash browns. We may have found our version of Icebox in Chitown.

Green Goddess breakfast skillet from Nookies in Edgewater. Major nomnoms, one of the few ways swiss chard actually tastes good ;p

String beans and chicken from Venus. This place hits it out of the park every time.
-Gastrodamus
My perfectly seared rib eye steak. God bless my iron skillet, a meal fit for a king in about 6 minutes (well 9 if you count letting the steak rest).
-Gastrodamus
Toad in the hole (egg in the basket) with a sprinkling of grated pecorino romano, courtesy of moi! It was quite tasty, if I may say so myself.
-Gastrodamus
Burnt honey ice cream coated in sesame chocolate hard shell from Blackbird courtesy of Fete. Ummmm things got a little intimate between me and da cream.

Killing time in Chicago’s winter has led me down a dangerous path lined with puff pastry and Nutella.
This is my latest diversion for idle hands: Nutella chocolate chip mini croissants. Spanks much?

Every time I go to Evanston, dropping by Thai Sookdee is a given for my “crack chicken.”
-Gastrodamus
Kicked off the weekend with my berry tiramisu. Hadn’t made this in a long while and my recipe is in storage along with all my other belongings, but I’m glad to say my memory didn’t fail me. I was able to whip it up in a faithful recreation.
-Braised Bombshell
My personal favorite fish taco from Big and Littles: the samurai. Deep fried fish in tempura-like batter, spicy aioli, soy based secret sauce, slaw and jalapeño. Extra hot sauce so not necessary.

Another Chef’s Feed app recommendation: apple pancake from walker brothers in Chicago

Veggie time! Portobello panini from Lemoni Cafe.
-Gastrodamus
Went to Ouzo’s (formerly our fav Greek restaurant Anise) for din din and ordered the Bogatsa, a vanilla and lemon custard baked in filo dough. The owner informed us it’s her own ya-ya’s recipe. Ya-ya would be very proud, it’s delicious.

Raspberry cake from Ni.Do Cafe in Eastside Miami. So freakin’ good, but their lemon cake wins hands down.
