Hello. Welcome to my blog. This site is where I record my explorations around Chicago in search of good and interesting things. Not only do I find it fun to check out new food shops, markets, artisans, and restaurants, but I also like to seek out foods that are whole, natural, and made well. This usually means food that is local and made from scratch. My explorations go beyond food. I also like to find things that enhance everyday living. So join me as I wander the city in search of distinctive foods—plus a few other interesting finds.
