Fab Review: Katana

October 11, 2018 by Contributing Writer

Fab Review: Katana // Tsukiji and Kani Maki // Photo: @topchicagoeatsKatana is celebrating their one year anniversary! It is a popular Japanese restaurant, which originated in Los Angeles and opened last year here in Chicago. The kitchen is led by chef Jose Melendez and Rob Juan. The trendy, modern vibe of the restaurant really suits the River North neighborhood. Katana markets its original location in L.A. as “the place to be.” They are on the right path to accomplishing the same for Chicago as well.

Fab Recipe: Caramel Apple Rose Puff Pastry // Ambrosia Apples // Photo: @fabsooparkFlowers are so basic… but Caramel Apple Roses are definitely not! I’ve never been a big flower person and my husband knows never to buy me any. Even at our wedding, I wanted the least number of flowers possible. Yes, they are beautiful to look at and pleasant to smell, but they never last very long….

February 8, 2018 by Contributing Writer

Maki & Nigiri at Naoki // Photo: @topchicagoeats
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). Normally it runs for two weeks (this year: January 26-February 8) but they just announced they will be extending a few more days (until February 11 at select restaurants) to align with Chicago Theatre Week. Don’t miss your chance!
