Girl & the Goat: A Must-Try

Ever since I moved to Chicago, I've heard people talking about Girl & the Goat, TopChef Season 4

Winner Stephanie Izard's West Loop restaurant…mostly about how it was impossible to get a reservation there. But I've also heard that this trendy spot is a must-try, and so it has been on my food list for a long, long time.

So in wishful thinking, I had been checking OpenTable every few days for a reservation to pop up that wasn't at 10:30 or 11:00 at night, but to no avail. 

Until Friday.

Valentine's Treats: Wine, Chocolate, and Cheese

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?
