I know... I know... you come here to talk about books, and I promise we'll get back to that soon, but today I have to share my love for my favorite Chicago restaurant.
One of the down-sides of moving to a small town in West Texas is the lack of restaurant variety. When I know I'll be visiting someplace like Dallas or DC or Chicago, I immediately start planning what restaurants I'm going to hit. I usually have my meal-stops planned before I ever pull out the suitcase to pack.
For this recent trip to Chicago, the one restaurant I was most excited about was Cozy's. It opened right about the time I moved to Chicago a few years ago and was just around the corner from my apartment. I ate there at least once a week. Sometimes, I even had them deliver the Thai food goodness. Yum!
After the BlogHer conference, I spent the day with a friend of mine who lives in the city. Of course I dragged her back to Cozy's. We had to time it just right to avoid the Cubs game crowd, but it was totally worth it.

I took advantage of a lull between groups in this corner. The tables are antique sewing machines, topped with toys under glass.
Mmmm... Thai iced tea, edamame, and Crispy Pad See Ewe. I was dreaming about this from West Texas for months!
Love the Cozy's decor!If you live in Chicago, check out the restaurant. It's at 3456 N. Sheffield. No, they didn't pay me for this post, I'm just hoping they start a franchise and open a location somewhere in Texas.
Mmmm, I'll have to file this info in my travel folder :-) LOVE Chicago. We used to live in Michigan and enjoyed weekend trips to the Windy City where we'd literally eat our way through :-) Always enjoyed trying new ethnic places. (Our hometown in Michigan had a couple of chain restaurants like Burger King and a greasy spoon or two and that's ALL) Enjoying trying places here although so far am finding a sameness to the cuisine. Looks like we'll have to wait for trips to Buenos Aires to find ethnic offerings.
