A HIGH-END PARK CITY TRIP
A confession for those who don’t know me, I love Kenji Lopez-Alt. Some might say that love is a mild way of putting it… Kenji has taught me a lot about cooking, which I’ll delve into at another time, but he also appreciates restaurants well. By well, I mean that despite being a top-tier professional chef, Kenji appreciates real, unpretentious, and approachable food. He appreciates what it takes to run a restaurant, and why these small businesses are important to our communities. He knows how to enjoy and review all “categories” of restaurants for what they are. He can rave about tavern pizza and a fine-dining experience all in the same week. He’s also an advocate for honoring culture and diversity in the food industry.

Title 3
- Our time was short in Chicago, so we had three major day-time activities.
- Tour Northwestern’s Campus: I had never seen Northwestern’s campus before. The university is located in picturesque Evanston.
- Montrose Dog Beach: Absolutely nothing against dog parks, but we stay away from them for a slew of reasons. Nonetheless, this spot on Lake Michigan offers tons of space for dogs to swim. While it was packed when we were there, Leia, my little fish, retrieved her ball out of the lake for what felt like hours, and it was the purest definition of happiness.
- Walk Around the Gold Coast: We enjoyed walking around the Gold Coast, admiring the Chicago architecture, and walking close to Lake Michigan.
