Restaurant Review: Tandoor Char House, via DoorDash

restaurant review: tandoor char house and doordash chicago // my bacon-wrapped life

I don’t know about you, but we are in the major-hibernation phase of winter. As in, it’s about halfway done – too far in to think snow is charming and pretty, and too soon to start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. February is for gray, mushy snow and weekends of take-out and the couch. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – in fact, I kinda love embracing the cozy vibes. And it certainly doesn’t mean we can’t eat well, amiright?!

That’s where these two faves come in: Tandoor Char House, our #1 favorite delivery Indian food in Chicago, and the service that brings it to us – DoorDash. Have you guys heard of DoorDash? It just started up in Chicago, and after trying the service out, I could not be more excited about it. They deliver meals from your favorite restaurants for a flat fee of $5.99, with no minimum order size. They’re currently in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and a ton of other cities – check out the full list here.

Restaurant Review: Davanti Enoteca

Restaurant Review: Davanti Enoteca | www.mybaconwrappedlife.com

It has been way too long since I did one of these. Mostly because we have been literally hibernating all winter and spending most nights drinking beer on our couch. Nobody wants to read a review of that, right? (It was pretty awesome, in case you were wondering.)

But now that it’s starting to get a bit nicer out, I’m definitely going to start these Chi-town restaurant reviews up again. First of all, because they’re fun and (I hope) useful, and second of all, because it gives me an excuse to try lots of new places and take pictures of my food in public! No shame here.

Restaurant review: Perennial Virant

IMG_0506

Last weekend, Brad and I and a friend went to Perennial Virant, a cute little restaurant that is right up the street from us and, shockingly, we’ve never made it around to. Not only does the food always look delicious, but the head chef, Paul Virant, was awarded Food and Wine’s Best New Chef award in 2007 AND has been on Iron Chef America (vs. Morimoto, the coolest dude, no less). Again, why haven’t we been there yet? Finally, after the billionth time I’ve walked by during weekend brunch hours and been overcome with immense food envy, I decided the time had come to try it.
