SOOO....we've decided that we're not going to take a summer vacation - gotta get those internship hours (BTW, internship = very cool!). Instead, we've decided that we're going to take a couple of long weekends and explore Chicago! We finally branched out a little bit when it comes to restaurants (instead of staying in our "comfort zone") and had such a good experience that we're planning to do more!
We're hoping to go to new neighborhoods and try at least 3 new restaurants a month! Fun times! We had our first experience tonight!
We ventured out to a far northwest neighborhood called Albany Park and ate at Chicago Kalbi, a Korean BBQ. The neighborhood is very ethnic - Latino, Middle Eastern, Korean. There are so many restaurants and we'd love to try some more!
Moving on the restaurant - Korean BBQ is amazing! They bring out beef and chicken of different kinds and a charcoal grill. Talk about fun! We grill it ourselves and put it into a BBQ/Soy sauce to cool it off. Then eat - yummy! Along with all of the meat, they bring out a plethora of sides, including spicy Kimchi (hot sauce-ish cabbage) and cucumbers (which I liked a lot, despite burning my mouth :o) They also brought us some of the BEST potato salad we've ever had! As an appetizer, we had some pot stickers that were very tasty and, for desert, some scrumptious green tea ice cream!
I'm going to post all the different restaurants that we go to and hopefully write a little review every time.
