February 8, 2016 by Soo Park

Duck Fat Dog at The Duck Inn // Photo: @lavila92In Chicago, we take brunch seriously (#brunchsohard). For many, the weekly ritual includes gluttonous amounts of runny yolks, thick-cut maple bacon, cheesy omelettes, fluffy pancakes, bottomless mimosas, and more. One of my favorite Instagrammers, Lisette (@lavila92), shares her top brunch spots and her mouthwatering pics. …

Fab Recipe: Holiday Breakfast Casserole

December 16, 2015 by Contributing Writer

There is nothing better than waking up on Christmas morning to the heavenly scent of a breakfast casserole wafting through your nose. My Holiday Breakfast Casserole is an ode to the warm, festive Christmas tradition of gathering together on Christmas morning (while everyone is still wearing their pj’s) and enjoying a great meal with your family. After all, opening Christmas presents and unstuffing stockings involve a lot of hard work, so it is only appropriate to refuel with a good hearty breakfast….

When I have to choose between grilled or fried chicken, I put on my stretchy pants and pick fried chicken all day, every day. There is nothing like a superb piece of fried chicken with a thin layer of extra crispy batter and a juicy center. Even better, I love fried chicken sandwiches. When combined with the right seasoning, fresh vegetables, and the perfect bun, it is the ultimate comfort food that warms my inner Southern heart and soul….

Donut judge. I frequently think to myself, D.I.E.T. (Did I eat that?) This is especially true when it comes to doughnuts. I don’t know about you but I can’t resist these deep-fried, doughy treats especially if they are glazed and filled with chocolate, fruit, or custard. #thestruggleisreal…

October 26, 2015 by Contributing Writer

There are few things in life that make me gasp with utter joy. Can you guess what one of them would be? It’s none other than the glorious sight of a runny yolk lazily dripping all over my food.
