The Rundown v. 25

I slacked off on these posts while I was traveling and haven't written ane since September! I already told you all most Kansas City, Munich, Piedmont, Monaco, Nice, and Kohler – and posts on Napa and Sonoma are heading you way soon. Just I haven't told you about all the fun things I have been doing when I am at habitation in Chicago. Here we become – here are some highlights from the final couple of months!

I got to see one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Glen Hansard, perform at the Chicago Theater. You lot might know Glen from One time, a film he starred in, and he puts on an amazing live prove. We saw him a couple of years ago, in the pouring rain, at Lollapalooza, and I am positively obsessed with his music.

I attended the Global Food Tourism Conference, where I learned all about the food tour industry. Information technology got to meet people from all over the world who run food tours. The conference was organized by Shane from Food Planet Tours and I learned all virtually the nutrient tourism business. I had no idea how much the food tourism has taken off in the past 10 years. Food has become a big reason why people travel, and a large part of what people want to feel on vacation. I accept been on food tours in San Juan and Kansas City this year and they were highlights of the trips. Today lots of people are turning food tourism into careers. I got to meet lots of amazing people at the conference and I am glad that I got to nourish.

I went to Blogher Food and got to spend some time with my food blogging friends. It was so fun seeing friends from far away, and meeting new people as well. This photo was taken after a group of us went to dinner together at Formento's.

Charles and I are on our style to becoming regulars at Bar Siena. It is and then rare that Charles asks me if nosotros tin can practice brunch, simply he wakes up on weekends asking me if we can get to brunch at Bar Siena. We both love the Avocado Toast.

I also dear Bombobar, Bar Siena's walk up window that sells bomoblini with your choice of filling. My favorite flavour is the salted caramel, simply the vanilla custard is great also!

I rarely find the time to hit the gym these days, only the Windy City Blogger Collective hosted a class at The Bar Code in River North, and I loved it. The studio was welcoming, the teacher was lively, and I got a cracking workout in during the 45 minute class.

I met Anthony Bourdain at an issue for Balvenie and the Rare Craft Collection. Balvenie produces unmarried malt whisky fabricated in Scotland and their Rare Craft Collection showcases 5 people who produce handmade crafts. During his talk, Bourdain said that he appreciates the pride people take in making things by hand and at striving to be the best at their craft.

I went to the opening of the new Contemporary Floor at Saks Fifth Artery, followed by dinner at Sophie'south with a grouping of astonishing bloggers. The mushroom and short rib risotto was incredible. It took some serious willpower to not purchase everything in the shop. The Halston dresses were especially stunning.

Erin and I went to a Blackhawks game. I had never been to a Blackhawks game earlier, but it was seriously cool! Thanks to the Scottsdale Tourism Board for hosting us!

Erin, Emily, Blair and I filmed a little something for the Whitney Reynolds Show.

It volition air on PBS nationally in the Spring, and I will share more details once I have them.

Charles and I celebrated Thanksgiving with my family in Kennebunkport, and wandered through my impossibly adorable hometown.

And we toured my parents new house! I had mixed emotions nearly my parents selling the home I grew up in – until I saw their gorgeous new abode in Kennebunkport. Lucky for me, my oldest child status means that I got the best room in the new dwelling. (Thanks Mom and Dad!)

We saw my friends Yarn play at Beat Kitchen. They come to Chicago one a year and information technology is something that Charles and I look forwards to. This time our friends Dave and Whitney came too!

More than recently, I have been hibernating at home and eating lots of delivery. Caviar has become my go-to service for commitment since they deliver Velvet Taco. Charles says that the Salary Burger taco is the best he has had in his life, while I love the buffalo craven taco. If you use this link you will go $5 off your order from any of Caviar'southward restaurants. They also deliver RPM Italian, Bub City, Chicken & Farm Shop, Umami Burger, and Davnanti Enoteca. And then basically I am never leaving home again. I experience that I should bespeak out that has I write this I am waiting for an order of 8 Velvet Tacos to arrive.
