    Thanks to you, cooking with Lau and a few others I'm am slowly increasing my Asian cooking ingredients. I just bought Chinese vinegar (I'm so excited about it because I love my food vinrgary too) and some hot chili crisp oil. I'm excited to use them. I'm going to make some dumplings this weekend and use the vinegar and chili oil for dipping sauce. I've always known Asian was my favorite food genre but I've never really cooked those foods. I'm excited for this new kitchen adventure.

    The girl and the goat is one of those tongue in cheek (ha) top chef restaurants that I've always THOUGHT I'd want to go to.. But now, seeing it 'live', I'm like, no thank you. I'd prefer to read the menu than eat the food.

      It looks like it was made for Instagram and frequented by the sort that tear down original Polish flats in Chicago and put up the big square generic mansions with underground parking that remove street parking for everyone else, yet building them close to El stations so they can leave their cars parked under their house while pushing working class people further from the train.

    The food at The Girl and the Goat looks good. But pricy for the portion sizes. $17 for the empanadas, $17 for the oysters, $23 for the pig face, and $34 for that pork shank. That adds up pretty quick. I like the concept, but it seems a bit overpriced.
