Yelp Eats! 2010: Duchamp

YAY to Yelp Eats! for introducing me to a fantastic new restaurant.  If you haven’t been to Duchamp, put it on your list of places to try this summer.  Not only is the menu delicious, but the patio is the PERFECT place to spend a lovely summer evening.
Duchamp is in the old Meritage space.  While I do miss Meritage, Duchamp definitely makes up for it!  The patio has been re-done and has a much more modern look, but is no less charming.  I love the wooden communal tables.  The interior is …

Vintage 338: European Sophistication in Lincoln Park

As a foodie, people often ask me, “What’s your favorite food?”  This is an impossible question!  It all depends on my mood, the weather, or what my current obsession is.  However, there are a few things that I simply cannot live without.  If I ever get stranded on a deserted island, there had better be grapes and some kind of livestock, because I need my WINE and CHEESE!  These are 2 of my 4 main food groups – Wine, Coffee, Chocolate and Cheese.

I’m not normally one for dessert or sweets for that matter, but when dining with a group of friend who are, I will on occasion, join on on the sweet chocolately action!
