A Vegetarian At Moto: The Photos

I haven’t had a chance to write up our trip to Moto yet, but I was able to get all the photos uploaded and labeled.  If they’re labeled correctly, that’s anyone’s guess, but for trying to write stuff down on the fly, I think I managed fairly well.
Here’s the photos.  Write up coming soonish.

A Vegetarian At Moto? – A Prologue

You read the title right.  The big mystery I hinted at back in February is that Katie and I will be heading to Moto tomorrow for a once-in-a-lifetime (for us anyways) 20 course ovo-lacto vegetarian tasting.
How did it happen?  I can only assume the almighty Christ-like power that is Google made it happen.  Back in [...]

Washington D.C. – The Misses #4

#4 – Cake Love
If you’ve ever watched Food Network, you’ve more than likely seen an episode of Warren Brown’s Sugar Rush. We had a few hours to kill on our final morning before the flight back to Chicago, so we decided to take a walk up to U Street and check out his bakery and [...]

Counting Down D.C. – The Misses #5

Sure, we went to Washington D.C. nearly a month ago, but isn’t still fun to talk about the food we ate? I think so, too! Thank you for agreeing with me faceless, anonymous public!
When Katie and I first talked about escaping for a weekend, we were hoping for something a little warmer and [...]

Bacon-Dusted Mozzarella Dinner Rolls

Once you find yourself on the receiving end of such an eye-opening spice, you start wondering how you can apply to your recipes.  That’s the only reason I can come up with that would explain why every restaurant in Chicago was serving hearts of palm a year or so ago.
And this year?  Jicama seems to [...]

On The Subject of Bacon

Also in keeping with this week’s theme, I present to you Bacon Cups.
Yes.  You heard me right.  Bacon Cups.
I wonder how Bacon Salt would taste on these?

Unicef’s Tap Project

In keeping with the awareness theme this week, whether it be Multiple Sclerosis or lizards in salads (*blurg*), a co-worker forwarded me a link to another worthy semi-food related starting next week.
Unicef’s Tap Week is teaming with a host of the nation’s restaurants to try and provide clean drinking water to children in third world [...]

Geico Lizard Found Dead. News At 11.

Usually stories like this get dismissed out of hand. Who doesn’t remember stories of people finding thumbs and pieces of animals in their food, only to find out the stories were false and the people were just trying to scam a free buck.
But when you have witnesses AND photos? Well now it’s just [...]

Bacon Salt. It Exists. And It Is Good.

My office smells like bacon. Not just a little, but as if we were hosting a bacon buffet in our tiny little encoding room. And it’s been lingering for a couple hours now. I did this. And there was no burnt pig involved.

Bacon Salt. How could salt infused with the taste [...]

Local Chefs Support MS Awareness Week in Chicago

Something I don’t believe I’ve talked about here on Two Bites is my special interest in Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week. I was diagnosed with MS in May of 2001, so I’ll shortly be celebrating my 7th anniversary with the rather obnoxious and annoying disease. Happy anniversary to me!
I don’t talk about it often, [...]
