Another weekend, another one out of town. I feel like the last few weeks have blurred together, and I have several more weeks of travel ahead...Richmond and Austin and NC and Michigan and who knows where. But Chicago...It was a better balance of time with friends, shopping, and time with work stuff. But not perfect, but something is always missing.
I will mention our restaurants. Cru Kitchen & Bar was brunch on Sunday, and it was a hearty breakfast of eggs, biscuit, sausage, and bacon. The french toast looked particularly tasty. Union Bar and Sushi was perfect. The sashimi and the rolls were perfect, cocktail was perfect. Light enough for dinner but very filling, especially with dessert later.
L2O was ridiculous, of course, and I will remember the baby sized portions of beet, risotto, and the bite of filet and lobster. Some surf and turf, right? And don't forget the kit kat. It might have been designed to be a tasting menu, but it was barely enough for a six year old. Heading to Due afterwards with the group was far more memorable and tasty, though I am still recovering from the 2am bedtime.
Having time to run along Lake Michigan in the freezing cold was enough to sustain me, along with conversations with friends and seeing D's mom. And while the hectic-ness will last, I know there will be at least little moments to sustain that.
