Meet Thony Yang, Sous Chef at Slurping Turtle. Born in Cholet, France and raised in the states, Chef Thony Yang (29) currently works as the sous chef at Slurping Turtle, a Japanese restaurant owned by the acclaimed, Chef Takashi Yagihashi….
As a child, not many of us liked to eat our veggies, especially Brussels sprouts. For me, my family rarely, if ever, served Brussels spouts, so I was actually not very familiar with them, but I know my friends did not like them. The first time my family served Brussels sprout, I was a little hesitant to try. However, I am so glad I did! For me personally, as I got older, I started to enjoy more complex and bitter flavors. I’ve taken a strong liking to the vegetable and will order it at almost any restaurant that serves it….
I count myself lucky to be living in Chicago for many reasons. One of them is the endless amount of ethnic foods you can find here. Mexican food is definitely at the top of my list of favorites. After all, #TacoTuesday is an excuse to try out new taco joints and drink margaritas. So it is fitting to share my soft spot for Antique Taco, one of many taco joints in the bustling Wicker Park neighborhood….

Cupcakes have been all the rage the past few years. With shows like Cupcake Wars and DC Cupcakes, you can see why the obsession for this sweet treat exists. I personally don’t have a big sweet tooth but I find myself drawn in by the call of cupcakes, too….
Allende is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that you might pass over at first glance. I highly recommend you don’t or you’ll miss out on a treasure trove of authentic Mexican food. Although the interior design of the restaurant leaves much to be desired, Allende gives you great Mexican food for a price that won’t hurt your wallet….
Oh, brunch time! It’s my favorite time of the day. On a day when you sleep in, this is the meal that can satisfy your hunger. Breakfast foods? Not a problem. Lunch? Also appropriate! As a person that loves fresh fruits and eggs, Meli Café makes some amazing dishes with these two ingredients. It’s almost the weekend so it’s the perfect time to start thinking about weekend brunch plans!

Bacon and beer…I can’t think of a better pairing than that. Can you? So you bet I was thrilled when Bacon and Beer Classic asked if I could take over their official Instagram page for Fab Food Chicago, this past weekend, and share my experience with everyone!

As a pastry chef, working in the field for almost 13 years, there are only a select few bakeries around the city that completely win me over. Cellar Door Provisions is all that and more.

I consider myself lucky to be living in a neighborhood with such a diverse selection of great restaurants. From fancy places to affordable joints, Andersonville and Uptown, has it all. It makes me giddy with enthusiasm when I discover unique and different spots that only a few locals know about. It’s those unassuming hole-in-the-walls that excite me the most.
