TheBoundary_Chicago

Bulls game, company of amazing friends, great service, and awesome food...what more can you ask for on a Thursday night.  The Boundary Chicago is a great bar in Wicker Park area.  We ordered Fried Peppers which were extremely delicious and each bite size pepper made me want to have one more.  Mac & Cheese Squares were beyond delicious.  I love mac & cheese but having them baked was a dream come true.  And lastly Bang Bang Shrimp was just out of this world.  A perfect combination of shrimp, chilli, and sriracha sauce just kept giving an extra kick with every bite.  I hight recommend this place for everyone who enjoys great food and chill ambiance.

KohanSushi_Chicago

I was out with some friends near the UIC area and we were looking for a place to eat.  A few of us were craving sushi so we ended up at Kohan Sushi since its open really late.  We started with Mushroom Stuffed with Crab Meal, and it was extremely delicious.  I am not a mushroom fan but this appetizer was very flavourful and extremely fresh.  Then we ordered a few rolls, Kohan Dynamite, Double Dragon, and W3.  I have to say that the sushi was nothing to brag about.  W3 is the only roll that came with a different presentation, lit of fire which was great to watch but the taste was okay.  I was also not to impressed about the service because as we were deciding on what to order, the staff stood there and watched us and wanted us to hurry up and order.  We were about two hours before closing so I don't understand the rush.  If you are walking around in the area and want are craving sushi then this place is good to stop by but if you want some quality sushi then I would not suggest this place.

OliveGarden_Chicago

Olive Garden is a very well known place for everyone.  However, I don't even remember the last time I went to Olive Garden before today.  They have a "buy one take one dinner" special going on so I decided to check it out.  I was very impressed by the menu that they had for the special promotion.  I was also surprised by the quantity.  Usually specials are small quantity but these portions were their regular dinner portions and they came with unlimited salad and breadsticks.  I ordered Cavatappi with Asiago Garlic Alfredo, and it was extremely delicious.  The roasted garlic on top was a perfect touch to add that flavour.  For take home dinner I ordered Penne with Basil Garlic Marinara, and I took a bite as soon as I got home.  It's delicious!  I forgot how delicious Olive Garden's food is.  I will be going back again for sure.  Just a few more days left for the "buy one, take one dinner" so if I were you, I would hurry up and take advantage of the promotion.

MagnoliaBakery_Chicago

Walking around Chicago downtown I came across Magnolia Bakery.  It was extremely busy but the staff was still able to provide excellent service.  It's a very cozy place, extremely clean, great staff, and extremely flavourful cupcakes.  I tried German Chocolate cupcake and I made a huge mistake by only getting one.  I should have gotten more because they were extremely delicious and fresh.  It had a unique coconut caramel pecan icing.  I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy fresh, and flavourful desert.  I certainly plan to go back very soon.
