tonight, i was excited to meet up with a long distance friend, linh.
i had just flown in from d.c. {more on that later!} this morning. so i was happy to be able to make it to dinner with everyone!
linh lived a brief moment here in chicago. i mean brief. she moved here from arizona and quickly returned back after a few months…why, you ask? it was because she moved here to chicago in the dead of winter {and one of the worst winters we had experienced in awhile}!!!!! no one not from chicago should move here in the beginning of winter!!! especially someone from an environment of consistent warm weather! actually, linh had her reasons, although we try to convince her to move back all the time {we believe summertime in chicago will win her over}!
anyhoo, i was able to meet up with the gang at the little goat. it was me, my sistas, leyla, and linh. i was looking forward to trying this place {a spawn from the big sister shop…the ever delicious girl and the goat} as i heard great things about this newbie as well. i was surprised it was more like a diner {reading about the restaurant would help, hehe}. the interior was very mod and cozy. the menu can be a bit overwhelming [honestly, everything looked enticing}. all the dishes are a la carte and breakfast is served all day {whoop, whoop!!!}, my kind of place!
we finally settled on our choices of entrees and drinks {beer, bellini’s, and kimchi bloody mary’s}. whilst waiting for our drinks + food, we were being quite daft. we did a lot of catching up by entertaining each other with our animated stories, we laughed a lot, we amused each other, and bonded with our fab waiter, ezra.
our sumptuous food came and we ate, and ate, and ate. i ordered the pork belly pancakes {i die} and we shared smoked fries, garlic mashed potatoes, and flavorful mac n cheese. ugh…so stuffed, so excessive, so damn good! but we weren’t done! we topped off our meal with rich espresso and desserts! i willingly inhaled a tiramisu shake…vanilla gelato, coffee, mascarpone cheese whipped cream, and topped off with chunks of chocolate bits {divine}.
[kimchi bloody mary // sistas // linh // little goat // pretty ladies // pork belly pancakes]
life can fly by if you let it, i like to grab it by it’s wings and savor every moment i can.
it was a great time to catch up with the ladies [manger some good grub] and take a moment out of time to create some more wonderful memories.
xoxo
