Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits, what more could you need?

Hello Food Lovers!

Upon our second voyage to Chicago, we discovered this quaint joint called Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits, located just outside of downtown.

When arriving you will find plenty of on street parking (awesome right?). The little restaurant has a cute black and white striped covering.

We went here in the afternoon and found the place to relaxed, and we we’re greeted as soon as we entered with smiling faces.

Bang bang pie and biscuits, is just as it seems. They offer Biscuit sandwiches, and pie!

We decided to each try a Biscuit and skipped on the pie, for now~

As for my biscuit I went with the Bacon.

The bacon biscuit comes with candied bacon, collard greens, hot sauce, and a sunny egg.

When presented with our food we couldn’t help but notice how pretty it looked. I loved how beautiful the egg on mine was presented. The biscuit appeared nice and golden, and the bacon especially delicious.

It was my first time trying collard greens. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about them, and also had heard that hot sauce definitely helps bring down their strong flavor. That being said- I’m also not a big fan of hot sauce in particular.

When I took my first bite, I was actually surprised. I did not hate, nor love them. They we’re simply “okay” to me, and what I had heard was true. Hot sauce definitely goes along with them perfectly.

As for the entire dish together, it was great! The biscuit was out of this world. The egg cooked perfectly. The bacon cooked to a crisp. I enjoyed every bite.

Seth went with the Ham Biscuit.
The Ham Biscuit was also pretty simple.

It came with Bang Bang’s maple glazed ham, caramelized onion relish, dijon butter & side of house pickle. He enjoyed his dish as well. We would both love to try more options when we make our way back into the windy city.

So if you’re ever in the Chicago area and looking for a cool, mellow, breakfast place we would definitely recommend Bang Bang. Their menu is simple and straight to the point, as well as their flavors!

Thanks Bang Bang, you sure do make a bang! (we know, we’re cheesy.. get over it)

Till we eat again,

Tasty!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Amorino has the Gelato

Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well. When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
