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.

A Feast for Fifty: Tim’s Birthday Celebration

My dad turned the big 5-0 last week, and to celebrate, we made a meal fit for a king to share with our family and friends. Take a look at the pics! You’re going to be envious.

Everything was enjoyed with some wonderful bottles of wine and, of course, a some fine Scotch.
