Restaurants Around the Magnificent Mile

Bella Bacino's I just ate there this weekend and it was amazing. Its just over the bridge on wacker a block west. I had their white pizza, baked portabella, and a warm goat cheese salad with lingonberry vinaigrette. It was perfect since it was the only nonchain within walking distance of my hotel and my mother I was with couldnt walk far.

Cook the Book: 'Fiesta at Rick's'

Hard choice, but I would have to say Rick Bayless( Ive met him and he's so nice!), but Jamie Oliver, Morimoto, Grant Achatz, Bourdain, and Alton Brown would be high choices too!

My most horrible baking experience happens to involve a red velvet box mix I was baking for my dad's birthday. First the bag split when I tried to open it and got red dust everywhere, then my batter over flowed everywhere in the oven causing another great red mess and no cake! Poo Dad!

City Flavor Guide: Grand Rapids

I love GR!!! My BF lives on Lake Dr. ( although not for much longer) and we love Brandwine!!! Best breakfast out there. The sushi joint downtown on Monroe is second to none...seriously grandma roll and salmon skin roll, unfortunately I do not know it's name. For great Italian go to Pietro's on 28th, you will die and go to heavan. Last but not least Russ's is great of for comforty food, although they are originally from Holland,MI and have locations around Kzoo, Holland, and GR.

Oh and check out Russo's on 29th street for some good grocery shopping, great cheese and wine selection. They also have an amazing deli with some family specialties and more family specialties in the freezer section http://www.gbrusso.com/

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

It's hard to pick just one, but I would have to say it would be my father's apple omlets topped with sharp cheddar cheese. He would only make them on Christmas morning, I would beg him year round for them and maybe get him to crack once in the middle of summer, but not always. He taught me how to make them, but they're still not the same as his and since my parents divorced it's no longer a Christmas tradition, just whenever I can beg him or he uses it as a bargining chip to get me to visit. Speaking of I should mention that to him.
