THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO – LET’S EAT!

THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO – LET’S EAT!

For some reason this weekend seems to be a low-keyed one around here in Chicago. Certainly nothing like the past several weeks! Perhaps it’s because school will be starting soon for many of the kids. But whatever the reason I say "Let’s Eat!"

Working in the Lincoln Square neighborhood since 2007 I did not realize how diverse of a neighborhood it was when it came to local area restaurants. After dining at a few of them myself and more than once I might add I thought I would share with you some of the top Lincoln Square eateries so you can check them out for yourself this weekend.

By the way one of Chicago’s own won first place on the T.V. show Top Chef aired on BRAVO – Rick Bayless! You can check out some of Rick’s dishes at his Frontera Grill restaurant located at 445 North Clark Street. And yes I have eaten here as well and must say I’m not surprised he won first place!
