We're Having Technical Difficulties!

Just a little heads-up that I’m having some serious issues with the audio on today’s video. Eventually I’ll figure it out, but there will be a delay publishing the video this afternoon. Wish me luck, and as always, stay tuned!

JT's Grille & Bar

On the hunt for yet another new breakfast spot, the family and I decided to give JT’s a try—it is in the former location of Just Judy’s.   It is a similar menu and while the interior has been somewhat redecorated, it is not too different.   The kids are fans of breakfast in general (particularly French toast) so it is a meal that is easy to get everyone to agree on.   They also have a wide-ranging menu including lunch items, so if you go in the late morning you can go either way (as we did). I had my standard breakfast (which here is appropriately called “Mom’s Breakfast”)—2 eggs over easy, bacon, toast and I again decided to try their version of the hash brown casserole ($5.49 + $2.95 for the casserole).  The eggs were pretty good (one was a little overdone) and the bacon was decent--crisp on the edge and a good flavor.  The toast was cut really thick and had little butter on it, so it wasn’t my favorite.  The most disappointing thing was the hash brown ca...

The Libertine-Revisit

So, if you have been following me lately, you know I am a fan of The Libertine.   I have been excited to see they have been pretty well fully booked with reservations a couple of times when I have tried to make a reservation lately (so happy they are taking reservations now). It makes me happy to see a place I really like be successful, even if it means I can’t go that night.   But the other night, we did get a table reserved and went in to try out the latest menu.   We started with the artichoke fritters ($8) and the famer’s cheese and olive tapenade crostini ($10).   Both were good, but the artichoke fritters were our clear winner of the two.   There were 5 little crispy fried balls that were chock full of artichoke and artichoke flavor.   There was a distinct lemon flavor as well and a wonderful cilantro aioli to dip in.   We really liked these, to the point we had to cut the last one in half to make sure we were exactly even (often hubby eats more ...

Lucky Lou Seafood Restaurant

I met my friend @zigged the other day for some dim sum at Lucky Lou’s (I told you I’ve been having a dumpling issue lately). I hadn’t been since this place changed names from On Time—not sure what the deal is there, but they still have some carry out menus from there as well.  Anyhow, they give you a big picture menu to order from (I am finding out the little carts pushed around the restaurant don’t seem to exist in the Midwest—even in Chicago’s Chinatown). We chose a bunch of stuff. The first couple of things they brought us were the fried bits (You know I like my mix of crunchy and steamed). There were fried shrimp balls ($3.50) and spring rolls ($2.60). I would say these two things were two of the highlights. The shrimp balls tasted just like they were ground shrimp formed into balls and lightly fried. They were quite dense and filling. The spring rolls were filled with more of a pureed filling of veggies with a little pork—you’re not going to look inside and instantly recogniz...
