Raise a glass!

I looked at the calendar this morning and realized Chicago Bites has been online for five years! Milestones call for deep reflection, a bottle of bubbly and a mushy blog post, right? Right! Here it goes:

Thanks to all of the city’s fantastic restaurants and food festivals, chefs, waiters, brewers, cookbook authors, food trucks, food and alcohol producers, and the vibrant community that make this the best place in the world to be a food fan.

But especially thanks to everyone who’s followed the site, left comments and suggestions, joined us for dinner, invited us to events, and let us share our dining adventures! It’s been a great five years. Cheers!

Foiled Cupcakes

Anniversary cupcakes for party guests.

Phoenix Lounge | Foiled Cupcakes Party

The Phoenix Lounge was packed!

Foiled Cupcakes held their first anniversary party at the Phoenix Lounge in the Wit Hotel last night. Invitations were almost entirely by word of mouth, which is how Mari & company have built their business over the past year. Guests were treated to silver top hats for the guys & tiaras for the ladies, and, of course, everyone went away with tasty cupcakes.

If you were unable to attend the party, you can call for a delivery at (630) 848-9141 or order via their web site.
