Chicago food photo highlights: Fat Rice for brunch (noodles for brunch! And Macau style egg tarts!), eating at Longman & Eagle three nights in a row, Pilsen for insane amounts of Mexican food at Nuevo Leon, Bang Bang pie (strawberry short stack and key lime), Leghorn Chicken (pickle brined fried chicken!), Hot Doug’s (foie gras hot dog!!!) and these weird but delicious quail egg with coconut and condensed milk shooters that taste like key lime pie from Slurping Turtle by Takashi Yagihashi (from Top Chef).
One of the first days we also had donut showdown: we bought a bunch of donuts from Donut Vault, Glazed and Infused, and Firecakes and did a blind taste test to see which made the best old fashioned sour cream glazed. Donut Vault was the winner. We had these amazing lemon poppy seed donuts that day. So good. I would go back to Chicago for Donut Vault donuts alone.
