If anyone is in Chicago this Saturday, check out the Clandestino Dining event in the Secret Garden. Food prepared by Chef Willie Wagner. I got to attend one of these dinners when they came to Memphis a few years ago. Both the food and the experience are fabulous. Don’t worry if you don’t have anyone to go with – you will make friends fast at these events.
The office is closed today while an pole that supplies power to the building is replaced, so I have a rare day off. I’m finally going to try Cuban restaurant Havana’s Pilon for lunch. They posted photos of their food and it looks yummy. I’ll try to get a photo and do a food post later. If I get a chance I want to try Tamp & Tap too.
