I have a confession to make: we live right across the street from one of the biggest and best farmers markets in the Chicago metro area and…we never go.
Crazy, right?

Breakfast Pizza
Growing up, one of my favorite meals was breakfast for dinner, or as us super-cool kids called it, “b for d.” All my mom (or dad!) would have to do is scramble up some eggs, whip up some toast, and we’d be the happiest campers in the world. B for d still remains a staple in our weekly dinner rotation, and I absolutely love the idea of jazzing it up a little bit. Enter: breakfast pizza. This is a super fancy-pants b for d. It’s also a combination of so many things I love: pizza, crispy bacon, cheesy goodness, and runny eggs.

Restaurant review: Perennial Virant
categories: Chicago Restaurant Reviews, Reviews
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.
