the thrill of the find

Thanks to my partner in crime/flea market mentor I found some great stuff. A girl can never have too many purses or boxes! 2 carpet bags, a green trunk, an apple crate & wood cheese boxes found at a Chicago Estate sale. Hmm, what else will find me?

To continue the Chi-town theme today I thought I'd share these. I was looking for a cool
Chicago t-shirt for a birthday present and stumbled across quite a few great ones.

sandwich smackdown

Chicago has so much great food and my friends and I have an on-going foodie argument- which is better the Hopleaf Ham Sandwich or Lady Gregory's Grill Cheese? Now both of these sandwiches are amazing, flavorful, delicious foodie works of art and we all agree on that. However, we needed to try these side by side and determine which one we thought proved to be the best. It was a close one!

I hope you're drooling over the thought of these delicious eats (I am). I know you're dieing to know who the winner was. By half a point the Hopleaf's ham sandwich was determined the winner by our group of four judges. And we can't wait to do more side by side tasty tastings.
