The crisp, colorful leaves are falling off trees and Chicago temps are quickly dropping. That can only mean one thing…FALL! Fall has always been my favorite season so of course, we can’t forget about all the seasonal treats that come with sweater weather.

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!

Roman-style Pizza at Bonci // Photo: @fabsooparkStarting at a very young age, food has always been an important part of my life. Whether it was sitting down and eating a meal together as a family or helping mom and grandma in the kitchen, it was always about sharing experiences through food. As a food blogger, sometimes I forget that it’s not about taking that perfect picture but about the people you’re with and the memories you make.

I didn’t want to stop brunching, but needed to find kid-friendly places. A children’s menu, good service and atmosphere are all qualities I look for now….
