Crosby's Kitchen

I think every Saturday and Sunday morning should start with a Bloody Mary, accompanied by a 7 oz. beer back. Here are some very delayed snaps from a long, hilarious brunch with the girls when our friend Regan came to town last month. I just found these photos and am remembering how good Crosby's Kitchen is! Def a go back.

We all have the tendency for our eyes to be larger than our stomachs, so we opted to split this delicious warm, homemade cornbread served in an iron skillet. It came with hot maple butter...let's just repeat that one more time: hot. maple. butter. 

That is all. 

Jac and Kels both went for the benedict served over a homemade cheddar bacon buttermilk biscuit. Quite the mouthful, eh? T'was a delicious mouthful, you can bet your bottom dolla that I tried it, multiple times.

Regan was in the mood for a burger that tasted better than it looked (sorry for no snaps of it). I on the other hand decided the fried egg sandwich with bacon on Rye sounded particularly yummy.

Let's just take one last look at that marvelous poached egg...ahhh

If you're in the Southport area and are hungry for brunch, hit up Crosby's. If you're lucky and the weather stays nice for a few more days (fingers crossed!) then be sure to grab a seat outside. Enjoy!

BBQ in the middle of the Gold Coast? Why not! One of my favorite couples, Vicky & Victor, have been raving about this place for weeks so we finally set a date and rounded up a crew to try q. Needless to say, our expectations were surpassed! Even my best friend, Kelsey, a recent vegan, had an amazing dish! The food was extremely delicious, but I think my favorite part of our q experience was the atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant is unlike any other spot in Chicago; it's the perfect balance of light & dark, not too noisy, and the upstairs is an unexpected surprise! I'm very eager to try q in the summertime, once our weather starts warming up because the endless bowls of pickles & chips that you get throughout dinner are already drawing me back!
