Chicago
The Cupcake Gallery
Mar 12th
The area of Chicago that we live in is called Uptown, in the heart of the north side of Chicago just a mile north of Wrigley Field. It’s a gentrifying neighborhood, or “up-and-coming” as some put it, and as such has a very diverse population in a small area ranging from the homeless to the working class to young professionals to insanely wealthy mansion owners. Many business have come and go, trying to fulfill the needs of this wide clientele. One newcomer to the game filling up an empty storefront along a stretch of Wilson Avenue is The Cupcake Gallery. Everybody, both rich and poor, loves cupcakes so it’s a welcome and refreshing addition to the neighborhood!

Crab Cakes
Dec 16th
Maryland loves their crab cakes. I love crab cakes. Katrina really loves crab cakes. Lake Michigan isn’t exactly known for its thriving crab industry as the Pacific Northwest and Chesapeake Bay are, but luckily for us crab cakes are easily made from lump crab meat available in any supermarket. The inspiration for this dish came from the Crab Cakes Benedict on the brunch menu at Magnolia Cafe in Uptown, Chicago. We’ve been hooked on these moist crab cakes ever since!
