Chicago Foodie Resources

Cynthia Clampitt — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:24:19 -0500

A few useful sites, if you want to scope out Chicago food finds:

Hungry Magazine -- Chicago-focused e-zine that reviews restaurants and offers podcast interviews with chefs.

The Local Beet -- Chicago's e-zine of local eating (not just eating locally, but eating locally grown, seasonal, and usually sustainable or organic food).

LTHForum -- the premier Chicago-based culinary chat site. You don't need to join to take advantage of this resource -- just visit and check out Eating Out in Chicagoland -- or use the search function to look for vegetarian, meat, or specific ethnicities of food.

This is a great food town. Enjoy.

Trattoria 225

Laracolvin — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:26:29 -0500

A short ride away from downtown on the Blue Line is a great restaurant called Trattoria 225.

From their website:

"Trattoria 225 is a full service restaurant and bar featuring rustic
Italian dining. We offer wood-fired pizza, fresh salads, house-made
pastas and a variety of artisan gelato. We strongly believe in
supporting local producers and using organic products whenever possible.

Our
mission is simple... to provide you, your family and friends with a
fantastic, affordable meal that incorporates quality, organic, local
and sustainable products in a space that is warm, inviting and fun."

I highly recommend it!

Great post!

I'm glad to hear Chicago is making changes

Virginia DeBolt — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:06:22 -0500

because when we were there in '07, the thing that most impressed me about Chicago was the horrible air quality. This year we can eat and breathe better!

Ah meatloaf

Denise — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:37:04 -0500

I have a love/hate thing with meatloaf. I don't really like it because I had it so much as a child. But, when it's good... it's really good. Cold meatloaf sandwich leftovers - excellent! :-)

Have this guy talk to me about HA...

BradK14 — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:08:30 -0500

I'd love to hear his story and console with him. Seriously. It's always sad to hear someone going through a tough time... I know what it's like - especially, at HA. I'm not going to try and change him or his opinions... that's not the point.

But I'll tell him the truth, and the truth is, his life is still a Gift to this world, and he's still very Loved by God and others (like you), and well... more than anything, I'd just like to talk and see what happens.

Email me: palakorg@hotmail.com

Peace - Brad

Ladyinhershoes, I say you are doing a wonderful thing and your heart is in the right place.

Absolutely! I just celebrated mine

Jessica Ashley — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:44:13 -0500

Oh me. Oh my. Oh mama. Link TextSassafrass

After 18 long months,there was much to celebrate with the women who supported me through the shock, tears, triumphs, drama and finally, the finalization. It felt very much like my wedding -- a way to mark a new moment in time.

greenlagirl — Sat, 23 May 2009 12:32:41 -0500

Sounds like another good cookbook -- Are the recipes pretty simple? I'm not that patient a cook so I need recipes that aren't too challengiing ;P

lisalawless — Sat, 23 May 2009 09:48:02 -0500

The book sounds interesting. I've been reading Local Flavors by Deborah Madison on the same topic. Full of great ideas for seasonal produce you can find at farmers' markets but maybe not at grocery stores.

Don't you love garden boxes?

Kian Yamaguchi — Wed, 13 May 2009 12:14:19 -0500

What size are yours? I have three (so far, more probably this weekend as I am itching to plant), that are 4 x4. In fact I posted about this last week, click if you'd like, I have photos up:

I really think it's the best way to go. Last night we had enough lettuce and chard from our garden for our main meal (for 8 people) to be salad. It was so nice!

Your beds look great, I can't wait to read more!

RE: CRAWFISH!

Kat Burb — Tue, 12 May 2009 16:28:40 -0500

I can't do the crawfish but the chicken, I'm in! Yat's only really makes it with Crawfish but occasionally they have it with chicken and when I tried it, I fell in love! Sinfully delish!
