We’re in Chicago for Christmas this year. It’s good to be back with family, friends, and FOOD. I love DC, but there’s nothing like Chicago food: Italian beef sandwiches, hot dogs, chili dogs, and deep dish pizza (which I’ll hopefully be having tonight).
Been a busy trip, I’ve visited a friend in Chicago, spent some time with my mom in the hospital (minor surgery, no worries), and beat Gears of War 2 with my brother. (He did most of the work.)
Tonight we’re heading to church with my dad. Been talking with two of his pastors, Jon and Dave Ferguson on Twitter, so looking forward to attending. I’ve been before, but it’s been a while. If you happen to be looking for a Church around Chicago, check it out. They have several campuses in Chicagoland.
If you know me, you’ve probably heard me rave about one of DC’s newest restaurants, Good Stuff Eatery. It was started by Spike, a contestant on Bravo’s Top Chef. I’m a huge fan (of Good Stuff, not Top Chef), and I started a blog dedicated to reviewing their amazing burgers. My goal is to review all of them (except the veggie one). So, in a move that is very uncharacteristic for me, I’ve had a different burger each time I’ve gone (except that one time I just picked up a root beer). I usually find something I like and stick with it.
If you haven’t been to Good Stuff yet, you really do need to get yourself down to 3rd and Penn SE and check it out. I especially recommend the Spike’s 5 Napkin, but if a breakfast sandwich on your burger isn’t your style, then visit http://goodstufflove.com to check out some of their other options. You can also read my friend Jessica’s review of Good Stuff. (See, I’m not the only one who likes it.)
