Enjoying A Bowl Of Ramen At Wasabi – Logan Square, Chicago

Wasabi is one of the few Japanese owned Japanese restaurants in Chicago so I had some high hopes for a good bowl of ramen. This tiny casual spot fills up in a flash and does not take reservations. Get here by 5:30 if you don’t want to wait on a Saturday. Also, BYOB. In addition […]

Update: Cha Gordo (Fat Tea) – This is where you need to go for brunch! Fat Rice is the restaurant everyone and their mother has been talking about recently. I wanted to see for myself if this number four rated best restaurant in America 2013 (according to Bon Appetit) lived up to the […]
