Lovely Chocolate Croissant

It’s been a busy few weeks at Chicago Bites. In case you haven’t had a chance to catch up, here’s where we’ve been eating:

Croissant Quest 2010 continued with a look at Lovely Bakery. We’re still looking for places to try, so be sure to send us to your fav spots!

Next, we took in the old world cuisine of Little Bucharest Bistro.

When the temperature started climbing it looked like a perfect time to scope out the cool sweets at Caffe Gelato.

The Taste of Chicago opened, and all we could see were turkey legs. And the people who eat turkey legs.

Eating a Manny's Turkey Leg

We had a brush with fame at Mayne Theater’s Act One Cafe where we saw Kate Flannery from The Office. Wish the food was as charming as her.

Zagat released it’s 2010/2011 guide for Chicago, and we had a little chat with Tim Zagat about what’s inside.

Had a little dim sum and then sum at Lulu’s in Evanston, and then finished things off with a few cocktails at the new bar atop the John Hancock Observatory.

We had a busy week on Chicago Bites, trying everything from goat to craft brew. We have a list of this week’s dining activity in case you missed a day or two:

Stephanie Izard's Got Buttons

On Sunday, we learned that Stephanie Izard’s got goat to give and snagged a few buttons for her upcoming raffle.

We continued Croissant Quest 2010 with a look at the offerings at Fritz Pastry.

Pad Thai | Asian American Festival

Next, we quaffed some brew at Beer Under Glass and spoke with brewmaster Pete Crowley about Craft Beer Week.

Midweek, we enjoyed some pad thai at Daley Plaza, then tried M Burger on the Mag Mile for meat and milkshakes.

Had a few sweet and sassy Flirty Cupcakes and commented on potential issues with Chicago’s food cart craze.

Cocktails And finally, sipped cocktails and supped on small plates at Sable.
