Classic Chicago deep dish pizza

Was in Chicago. Deep dish pizza from the north side. Not far from Wrigley Field.

A classic in the city of Chicago

Classic American French fries

Made from potatoes cut in house at a bar that’s passionate about food. Crispy on the outside. Creamy delicious on the inside

Classic Mexican street corn (elote)

Elote is a Mexican street corn that’s popular in many Mexican restaurants. It’s a great appetizer or snack. Although it’s common in America, a lot of people don’t know about this great treat. It’s a classic

Classic chicken satay

This is common in every major city in America. A nice appetizer or small lunch. You might even find it in small towns too since Asian foods have become popular in rural areas



The sauce on the side was some type of curry sauce.

Please no meat (meat = murder). Give the animals a voice. Stand up for the weak and voiceless

You have an excellent point and I applaud you. Coincidentally I’ve had some fantastic vegetarian dishes recently.

English peas hummus

This is a very rare version of hummus made from English peas and wow. Totally took me by surprise! Made from fresh peas and with “everything” flavored lavash crispy flat bread and garnished with watermelon radish slices. This was from a really cool bar. So good! This was crazy delicious that I want to attempt to make this at home.



Agedashi Tofu rice bowl

I’m amazed how vegetarian dishes can be. The chef from this cafe was a chef from one of the Ritz Carlton hotels. As you know Ritz Carlton hotels have high standards so having one of the former chefs making a dish is a wonderful treat. Simply marvelous. Absolutely fantastic



Vegetarian restaurants are actually more inspiring. The level of creativity can be through the roof in a wonderful inspiring way.

Classic Italian American salad

Loved this. High quality vegetables and generous amounts of high quality cheese.



It’s common for salads to be mediocre in most American restaurants but when it’s good, I love it. Was so happy to finally see a good salad with actual high quality ingredients and well composed and a good sense of uniformity.

A little off topic: The best salads I’ve ever had were actually in Japan. I was blown away and they did not taste like anything you see in Japanese restaurants in America.

Salads are my life! Woo hoo

Shockingly good vegan ramen noodles

I was actually blown away by this bowl of vegan ramen noodles. The owner of this ramen shop used to work at a Michelin star ramen shop in Los Angeles. The noodles are house made too and quality is superb.



I spoke to the waiter about this and he agreed that it’s special and he’s not even vegan. It’s a shiitake mushroom based broth and the flavors are very complex with a convincing meat like taste to it. Simply blown away by this outstanding rendition

Just got back from Arkansas

Fried catfish

Fishing in the lakes and rivers is part of the culture in Arkansas. This is one of the traditional foods of the location and it’s very delicious. Great crispy texture



Fried beer battered onion rings

Fried foods is part of the culture of Arkansas and they do a great job. This was an excellent version of onion rings.

Ethiopian chicken stew and raw beef dish

Also known as Dora Wat and Kitfo. Love Ethiopian food. It’s an east African cuisine that’s different from west African cuisine. So if you’re used to west African food, Ethiopia offers amazing dishes that really impresses.




Injera bread is the bread that’s used in Ethiopian cuisine. I absolutely love this.


Tej is an Ethiopian honey wine. Love it.
