Xoco Review: Xoco

Guest post from Jonathan today! He's back with us today with a writeup about Rick Bayless's most recent restaurant, Xoco. It's in Chicago so it's a bit of a tease for most of us, but living vicariously is nice sometimes. Xoco(SHOH-koh), Rick Bayless’s ode to Mexican street food, is only a few blocks from my apartment and I (like apparently the entire known world) had been aching to try it. And so every few days since it had opened I’d walked by to see if it was a good time only to find that the line was firmly out the door; so I would keep walking. But no, this day I decided to stay. I was taking a stand, and I was going to try Xoco. I arrived a little before 6 pm and the line was already peaking out the door. It seems that ever since...

Montmartre Review: Chicken and biscuit at Montmartre and a rant

We ate at Montmartre when the weather was still sunny. They have this back yard area that takes you away to another place that's almost a dream except it's either full of yuppies or hipsters.

However I don't eat at any single place enough to become a regular and spending money on alcohol just means it's not being spent on food. I will say that it's a shame they changed chefs because the food...

Flour Bakery and Cafe Review: Trying to understand why I stuff myself at Flour Bakery

Last time I posted about Boston, it was about the lobster roll at Neptune Oyster. Even after stuffing my stomach full of food, it was still a good idea to get even more food. Still full? Why wait? That's been my motto thus far in life. Digestion in inevitable, so even if I expand my stomach, digestion will happen at a later point anyway. Thus, keep eating. From the lobster shack, Steph and I ended up at a bakery. Because the logical thing when you're already full is to pump yourself full of flour and sugar. Luckily, Flour Bakery was just the place for that. I had a bread pudding. In hindsight, this was not a great idea. Why? Because bread pudding has this wonderful habit of expanding in your stomach. Normally this is acceptable, if not desired. However, when you want to savor as much...
