It’s one of my favorite times of the year…  Choose Chicago‘s Chicago Restaurant Week. Over 370 restaurants participated this year with special prix fixe menus for brunch ($22), lunch ($33), or dinner ($44).

Roman-style Pizza at Bonci // Photo: @fabsooparkStarting at a very young age, food has always been an important part of my life.
