Delicious 'Ish I've Eaten Lately



So in lieu of a full post, I'm taking a few minutes during the commercial break for Fashion Police to post a few pics of the good food I've eaten lately. Enjoy!! :-)




Thursdays only - $1 quarter pound burgers at Crossroads Bar and Grill on Clark. I know what you're thinking, for $1 that burger CAN'T be any good. But it actually is! It's a bit on the smaller side, but the burger is juicy, flavorful, and THICK (I hate super flat patties).  They do up-charge you for cheese, fries, veggies, etc (they're all $1 more), but I was able to get a burger, fries, Summer Shandy on draft, AND a vodka cranberry all for $6!  Can't beat that!





Chicken sausage, sauerkraut, and potato salad at Maifest, an annual German festival in Lincoln Square. There was beer, there was polka.... 




                                         
                                                  ....and men dressed in amusing clothing!







And finally, banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery.  This bakery was originated and made famous in New York City, and was opened on Block 37 in the Loop in October 2011.  Now I've eaten a lot of banana pudding, but THIS banana pudding is creamy, with the perfect balance of banana and sweetness. Hmph!!!
