Damnit, I just did a search for the Carthage Cafe, only to find out that they don't serve food anymore due to the smoking regulations!! They're only a hookah bar now. Well, shit.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Oh no, Kathy!
In Jeff's defense, they did wind up picking the salad as the winner.
He didn't have to be a condescending ass. And, you know, the judges picked the salad as one of teh top 3 too. Maybe it wasn't the most original or daring dish but evidently it tasted pretty good.

She made a dish that fit the challenge. That was the goal. I also liked how when she did her presentation, she made it personal by saying that she wanted to showcase her state's produce.

We should totally try to figure out a get-together while you're here, lisah. Even if we can't do that place, dammit.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well, that really sucks. Those carrots they had were really tasty, too.

I would love to! We are in Michigan for a good part of my stay this time though (and I just purchased snow boots today in preparation). But maybe that Saturday (the 27th). I'll have to check with boyfriend and see what's up for that day.

Chicagoistas, I could get together the afternoon of the 27th (drinks? coffee? coffee drinks?) if you guys wanted! Email me and we'll make a plan.

If you want to have some Polish food, I can recommend Podhalanka on Division, where MFNLaw, Shrift, Tommyrot and I had brunch back in March. Nice and cheap, and really excellent comfort food.

Ooh, and I missed that one due to sick or something. I'd be down for that.
Some other recommendations for the area - the Violet Hour [link] is a sort of speakeasy environment with incredible cocktails or the Paramount Room [link] which is kind of similar but more laid back. Both have great food too.
