Feed a Cold
I am have been a bit under the weather this week. Fighting hard against a cold and am slowly losing the battle. Despite having brought a salad for lunch I decided to track down the Meatbally Mobile. It’s feed a cold right? They were less than a mile from my office, not too bad considering…
Food Entrepreneurs
Speaking of food entrepreneurs, a new restaurant is coming to our neighborhood and I am really looking forward to it’s opening. Autre Monde is going to feature local, organic, and sustainable food.

Obsessed Much?
Breaking the blogging about lunch rule again. And it is about XOCO. Again. What can I say, it so worthy. What I enjoy the most about the new location of my office, beside the shortened commute, is being a block from the Rick Bayless restaurants. Particularly XOCO. I met my husband for a wonderful lunch. …
