Lucky us on a Friday Night! @topolochicago
Lucky us on a Friday Night! @topolochicago
Topolobambo – 449 N Clark Street, Chicago, IL
Usually when we get home on Friday night and neither of us wants to cook, Sara and I are browsing through the Friday night scraps of reservations on Open Table and usually end up with slim pickings….last night, however, there popped open an evening restaurant at a spot that’s been on our list for quite some time- Rick Bayless’s Topolobambo, which just…

Encore! Another great show at the Vic - @bleachersmusic - the confetti was a nice touch (at The Vic Theatre)
Token selfie at dinner last night. And oh, that's @rick_bayless in the corner - thanks rick and @andresmpadilla for a fantastic meal last night - still drooling over the nogada sauce and poblano chile... (at Topolobampo)
Modern Steakhouse done right @RPMsteakCHI
RPM Steak – 66 W Kinzie
When I first heard about RPM Italian’s opening a few years ago, a joint venture between the Melmans and the Rancics, I was dubious to say the least.  I expected the scene to attract a certain type of crowd and scene that’s not really my cup of tea, but I also didn’t expect the food to deliver either.  Surprisingly, though, RPM Italian has become one of our favorite go-to…

Getting the family together @chefping
Chef Ping – 1755 Algonquin Road – Rolling Meadows, IL
If there’s a restaurant I remember going to on a regular basis from my earliest childhood memories – it’s Yu’s Mandarin in Schaumburg, a solid Chinese restaurant that my family has been frequenting since I was about 6 or 7 years old.  I don’t think I’ve had any dish more often than the rainbow fried rice and the kung pao shrimp there.  Alas,…

Legit Chinese outside of Chinatown @Chengduimpression
Chengdu Impression – 2545 N Halsted Street, Chicago, IL
Outside of Chinatown, it’s tough to find really good, authentic Chinese food.  Shanghai Terrace does a pretty solid job, but given that it’s in the Peninsula, it’s quite overpriced.  Sun Wah is another classic, but much further north.  Other than those two, the Chinese selections around the city tend to be of the standard takeout variety –…

Balena – 1633 N Halsted Street, Chicago
So, I’m trying desperately to catch up on my backlog of restaurants to write about.  Since May, most of free time has been spent wedding planning and in May and June we went out to eat *a lot* because of the wedding planning and finishing up our kitchen remodel.  Thankfully, since we’ve returned, Sara and I have been a bit better about staying in and…

Two Month Anniversary celebration at #katsuchicago
Two Month Anniversary celebration at #katsuchicago
Katsu – 2651 Peterson Avenue – Chicago, IL
So Sara and I made it to 2 months!  And we’re still in love, after celebrating our real 2 month anniversary by cooking a wonderful meal of jja jjang myun and sous vide duck breast at home (yes, kind of all over the place), we decided to really kick it up and head up north to Katsu for some sushi.
Katsu may not be on your radar, and it’s sometimes hard…

First meal with Sara's excellent #slagelfarms CSA purchase and #sousvide experiment #3 -cheddar cornmeal biscuits and plantains courtesy of Sara, grilled cured ham steaks and sous vide eggs from me - #teamwork #picstitch
#sousvide experiment #2 - duck breast from @publicanquality - came out better than the steak I made last time, surprisingly easy and quick!

Bone-in Lamb Chop!
Sumi Robata Bar – 702 N Wells Street, Chicago, IL
Sara and I had been to Sumi Robata almost a year ago around when it opened.  I had always been a fan of the food at Japonais and was impressed with Sumi when it opened, but for it took us awhile to get back there.  And I’m glad we did – it’s a solid meal, albeit a bit overpriced based on portion sizes.
As you walk in, you’re…

Sushi night at the Choh residence + otomiyaki that Sara made and some fresh wasabi! We went a bit overboard shopping @mitsuwa #sushinight #chicagofoodie #spicytunaroll #freshwasabi
We love @mottstreetchi
Mott Street – 1401 N Ashland St.
If there’s a place that’s becoming our spot for go to Asian comfort food, it’s Mott Street.  (see my original review at  (http://chohschow.com/2014/02/06/mottstreet) It’s a completely unique spot – nowhere like it in Chicago, and really probably in the midwest.  And I think you’d probably have to search to find something like it even in NYC, LA, or SF.  Edward…
