The kitchen is the heart of the home, and having the right tools and equipment can make all the difference when it comes to cooking and entertaining. With so many options available on Amazon, it can be overwhelming to choose the right kitchen and dining items. As a kitchen and dining expert, I have scoured […] The post Top 7 Kitchen & Dining Items on Amazon for 2023 appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

I’m a little behind on reviews these days, so I apologize, but that doesn’t meant we haven’t hit up a few restaurants in Chicago over the last month or so. Back in early September we ventured down to Avli in Chicago’s River North neighborhood to grab dinner with some friends. It was a nice night […] The post Avli Chicago Review – Prawns, Meatballs, Cheese and Steak appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

Last Friday I was invited out to bb.q Chicken in Niles to try out some of their famous Korean Fried chicken. bb.q has actually been on my list of foods to try ever since K-Coop moved into the neighborhood and we fell in love with it, so when bb.q reached out and wanted me to come in for […] The post bb.q Chicken (Korean Fried Chicken) in Niles – Garlic, Cheese, Galbi and More! appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

K-Coop is bringing the heat, literally and figuratively, with their new Korean Fried Chicken restaurant located in Morton Grove. It’s definitely not your traditional fried chicken, or chicken wings, but it’s quickly becoming one of our favorite chicken joints in the area, and we’ve been telling everyone we know about it. K-Coop Korean fried chicken opened […] The post K-Coop Korean Fried Chicken in Morton Grove – Absolutely Incredible! appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

Another beautiful night in Chicago this past Wednesday meant that it was a great opportunity to hit up a new restaurant and sit outside. Bixi Beer, located on Milwaukee in Chicago, had been at the top of my wife’s list of places she wanted to visit for a while. I had never heard of it, […] The post Bixi Beer Chicago Review – Asian Inspired Fried Chicken, Octopus, and More appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

I struggled with coming up with an appropriate title for this article because Halee (Hard Bitten) absolutely blew me away last weekend when she was the guest chef at our friend’s daughter’s 3rd birthday party. Even though the food didn’t appear to be super upscale or “fancy”… everything was absolutely incredible and delicious, and despite […] The post Chicago Area Private Chef, Hard Bitten, Crushes at Home Party appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

I don’t believe that I’ve been to any of chef Stephanie Izard’s restaurants in Chicago, so I was excited to check out the Little Goat Diner once Chicago started opening up restaurants to indoor seating. At the time we went, I was still pretty hesitant about eating indoors, but I felt that a restaurant of […] The post Little Goat Diner Chicago Review – COVID EDITION appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

It’s probably obvious by now that we haven’t been going out to eat at all recently. COVID is still very much a thing and up until recently, indoor dining in Illinois, and the Chicago area specifically, has been restricted. We could have gone out to eat and sat outside, or outside in an igloo on […] The post Cabra Chicago Restaurant Review – COVID Edition appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

I’ve heard about Raising Cane’s chicken fingers for a few years now, but there was never a location near me until this week. A new location opened right around the corner from my house on election night and since fast food seems to be Donald Trump’s favorite food, we decided it would be a perfect […] The post Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers Review – Morton Grove appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more

I think I can count on one hand how many restaurants I’ve eaten at since the COVID pandemic started in March. Of those few restaurants I’ve been to, I haven’t eaten inside at any of them. Having seen this virus affect people I know, eating inside around a bunch of strangers isn’t really something I’m […] The post Tavern on the Point Edison Park Review – COVID Edition appeared first on A Picky Eater in the Chicago Food Scene - The Anti Foodie ..read more
