Stuff I Ate

We went to Chicago this weekend. Spent some time visiting with family and friends, and also some time being total tourists. And we spent a lot of time eating.

We ate lunch at the airport on Saturday, because our morning flight was cancelled and we were rebooked. I was super hungry and ate my entire cuban sandwich from Axel's before I could photograph it.

When we met our friends, they took us to the local mexican eatery, El Cid. I had the fish tacos. Best fish tacos I've ever had.

I also had an avacado tostada on the side.

Sunday morning we had a pretty darn good brunch that I forgot to photograph. Between our kids and the relations there was way too much going on. But Sunday evening we had a killer thai meal. I can't even remember what everything was, but everything I tried was good.

Since we were in Chicago, pizza seemed appropriate. But we couldn't get Chicago style delivered. We settled for this.

We made a pretty good dent, considering the girls were asleep and didn't help.

English didn't seem to be the pizza guy's first language, and when we placed the order we weren't sure they would be able to find us or get the correct order. They succeded on both counts, even though this seems to be all that was written down.

I ate other stuff too, but most of it was too unremarkable to photograph.

The photo of the empty plate made me laugh.

You didn't get a photo of the Italian dinner!

Yeah, I loved the shot of the empty plate.

I've lived in Chicago and that area a few times in my life. It's too bad you didn't get proper Chicago-style pizza, and now you've got me really wanting some! Carmen's (in Evanston) was always my favorite.
