I’m a food person. If you’ve read my blog before you know that I love food – making it, eating it, but Chicago has a great food scene I really enjoyed. I definitely tried to go to some of the more popular places since I was only going to be there a few days, but I got some great places in. These are on the most popular lists on yelp or by Chicago critics – one even has a Michelin star. Continue reading “Chicago: Food”
I enjoy beautiful foods. At most of these Michelin starred places, they take presentation and flavor into consideration. Some of my favorite restaurants have been at these places because they wait on you hand and foot and give you everything you expect from a fine dining experience. I also love to be able to try multiple courses and they portion the dishes out in smaller portions so I can do so.

I ended up getting it earlier this year; I found out they have some awesome rewards and benefits from it. One of these benefits was a special dining experience at Quince. It’s one of the many items on my list I’m trying to complete by the end of the year. I mentioned it to a friend I was going to this event and they ended up joining me for the dinner!
For days before the event, I was super anxious and excited about the entire event. I was going to an amazing Michelin starred restaurant which had gotten great reviews and perhaps was going to meet the chef!
