Helllloooo Chicago...
yes, we actually left the house for the first time since... ever. ;)
straight after the 6 hour drive from hell -- the Dan Ryan Expressway looks like a bomb went off (someone really ought to film a post-nuclear attack film in the rubble) -- we went straight to Karyn's Raw for the Sunday Brunch and sat next to.... wait for it.... Juliano.
yeah, and like a dork I left the camera in the car. ;(
The food was phenomenal -- Guacamole, Raw Tacos, Meatloaf, Stuffed Mushrooms, Raw Crackers, Corn Chips, Kale Chips, Raspberry Smoothies, (we think) Daikon Radish Ravioli (stuffed with cashew cheese and covered with a nice spicy dressing), and finally some Raspberry and Blueberry Sorbet.
As for the price -- yeah, not cheap -- but how often do we get a chance to do this?
We promise to get some pix from the rest of the trip...
