Chicago Here I Come
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never been to Chicago…but will soon remedy that by visiting this week while attending the Blogher conference. I can’t wait to see the Niki Saint Phalle installation at Garfield Park Conservatory, and I’ve been told I must try: D’Amato’s Italian Bakery, Thai Pastry at Broadway and Argyle, and Belgian beer [Leffe] at Hopleaf.
Am I missing anything?
Last year I was a volunteer on the Blogher podcast crew, but i’m going solo this time around and am hoping to do some quick vids and live blogging. We’ll see how well that works out once I hit the swarm of 800 other rawkin chick bloggers all wanting to do the same.
If you want some Kung Foodie luv i’ll be the one wearing combat boots and a Bruce Lee tee yo!
I’m shacking up with some amazing folks, plus visiting an old Internet friend of many many years. We’ve never met in real-time before so i’m feeling a bit giddy. He’s already use to calling me dude so I think we’ll do fine.
Stay tuned for photos and serious Chicago food action.

Hi Kat! It was great meeting you at the conference. I love your blog and the fish cookies are so cute! I hope you arrived home safe and sound and I’ll be looking forward to your posts! ; )

(hey, couldn’t find an email address, so responding in your comments…)
Thank you for the comment! Drop me a line when you come to PDX and we can share a bite. Or, I’ll be in Oakland (Mills is my alma mater) in October and I’d love catch up then. I never ate out when I lived there b/c I was always so broke.
And lucky you to share with Shuna! I hope to meet her someday, perhaps if she teaches up here again. I love it when people bring so much passion to what they do. As I get to know more chefs I see that they’re much like really great writers and designers. Only they feed you!
