LouMalnatis_Chicago

Chicago is known for a lot of things and one of them is Deep Dish Pizza.  I ordered in Lou Malnatis as it was the closest pizza place from where I was.  I ordered "The Lou" which is their vegetarian option, and has garlic butter crust with spinach mix and different vegetables.  The pizza was extremely flavourful, the spinach mix is something I had for the first time and it was extremely delicious.  I have had deep dish pizza before but this one was simply amazing.  I do plan to go there and have a sit down dinner with some friends soon.  I highly recommend Lou Malnatis for all Pizza lovers out there.

Blufish_Glenview

Been craving sushi for a last few days so really wanted to go to a great sushi place and Blu Fish in Glenview / Chicago was simply amazing.  Started off with appetizer Ahi Tuna Tartar, and let me tell you that by far this is the best tuna tartar I have ever had.  It was tuna tartar with seared tuna sashimi and each bite was better than the last.  I could taste the tuna in every bite and it was very flavourful.  Then I tried different kind of Sushi Rolls: Salmon & Avocado, Spicy Tuna, Rainbow Dragon, and Crunchy Muffy.  Each one was so different from the other and tasted excellent and very flavourful.  The rolls were very filling and the quantity was excellent.  I highly recommend this place next time you are in the Glenview area.

DelSeoul_Chicago

Busy day today so decided to grab a quick bite at Del Seoul Korean Street BBQ.  I have heard their shrimp tacos are the best.  So I ordered two shrimp taco and one tofu taco, just to try it.  The shrimp taco was amazingly delicious and the sauce was very different.  Tofu taco however, was way below my expectation.  It was not tasty at all and didn't taste right.  I eat tofu a lot but this one tasted bad as if it was sitting there for a long time.  Shrimp tacos are definitely worth the try.  I didn't have anything else so its hard for me to say about their food in general; but if you are walking by then stop in for a shrimp taco.

Maoz_Chicago

I have heard a lot about Fashion Outlet Mall near the Chicago airport, so this time when I landed in Chicago I decided to make the mall my first stop.  Huge mall with many brand outlets and definitely worth the trip.  I was starving when I got to the mall and went to the food court right away.  Maoz Vegetarian place caught my eye right away because they were sampling their freshly made falafel.  I ordered a falafel sandwich with avocado and feta cheese, with side order of sweet potato fries and a unique drink called The Green Kick.  The sandwich was just wow.  I am not a huge fan of falafel but Maoz's falafel tasted very good and was extremely fresh.  Avocado and Feta are premium topping but they have a salad bar with fresh toppings and sauce that you can add to each sandwich.  The drink was something very different and a perfect blend of sweet and spicy.  It was made with all greens like apple, cucumber, celery and a kick of jalapeƱos.  The meal was delicious and very filling.  The impressive part was that the owners were present at the location and they are there almost every day to make sure that their service and quality of food is not compromised.  Next time you are in Chicago then I definitely suggest Maoz Vegetarian.  This is one of the best vegetarian places I have been to in a very long time.  I will definitely make a stop again before I leave Chicago.

CarmineTuscanyGrill_Brossard

Exterior of this restaurant doesn't look to appealing but as you walk in, it's a very big restaurant with great food.  I was feeling like having pasta so I ordered Cheese Tortellini with Rose sauce ; and it was an excellent choice.  The waitress even suggested as its one of their specials and the sauce is in house special.  Each bite was so tasteful and the sauce was delicious.  It was not a normal rose sauce that I have had with my pasta in the past.  The quantity was excellent as well and was well worth the price. If you are hungry, want to take your friends or family out for a nice diner then I highly recommend Carmine in Brossard.
