A Religious Experience: The Holy Trinity (of beef) at Eataly

When my boyfriend came to visit last weekend, we planned to dine at BIG and little's, a great gourmet diner, after going to a matinee performance at The Second City. We hurried to the train after the show, fighting the bitter winter wind, and luckily, hopped on the brown line to go one stop south for some Foie Gras Fries or a Porkbelly Po' Boy.

From the train, we could see the restaurant, however, and the windows looked black. It must have been closed on Sunday, but not having a plan B, we scrambled to think of something for dinner, and Eataly it was.

Check out this awesome spread! Dark chocolate covered
pretzels, oreos, and cookies, homemade flourless
chocolate cookies, Eataly bread, bruschetta, herb
crusted goat cheese, almonds, baked camembert, and of
course some special Valentine's Day drinks!

My roommate and I decided to go all-out for Valentine's Day, and I would say that it was a success. With wine, bread, cheese, and chocolate, how could you possibly go wrong, right?
