Blue 13
Chicago Bites Podcast #146

The steak and eggs on acid is a house specialty and lives up to the billing.

In this episode, guest host Stephen Hernan and I pay a visit to Blue 13, a trendy, contemporary American restaurant located in River North, an easy distance from the Loop. Did the lobster pizza, steak and eggs on acid and pan seared scallops hit the spot? What missed the mark? Listen in to hear all about our latest dining adventure.
