Oh La La, Cashmere!

Who doesn't like cashmere? This season J.Hilburn has the best quality for the price in the marketplace. In 2010 these sweaters were sold out in less than a month to the dismay of many customers. What makes this sweater collection unique is what you get for the price. These fine gauge sweaters come from premier cashmere and luxury yarn spinners, and the latest knitting technology from around the world. The process is simple; first-combing baby cashmere from the mountains of Inner Mongolia to the finish- J. Hilburn Baby Cashmere and Cashmere blends that feel at home in any wardrobe. They come in seven varieties and over ten luscious colors. Styles range from the ever popular classic v- neck to the back by popular demand, Houston Double zip.

I encourage you to get your order in quickly as they will be another seasonal sell out!

Sprout has Sprung!

My pallette has grown from a sprout to a full flower! Seriously, if you have not dined at Sprout in Chicago you need to make your reservation now! First, thank you Megan and Dad Robb for including me in this wonderful 40th birthday celebration.

 Private Dining

The ambiance was perfect, back private table area for 8, serving the course menu  with wine pairings. Wine is meant to bring out the flavor of each dish if paired correctly, and the folks at Sprout know how to truly enhance their chef's, food with the perfect vintage.

Dale Levitski

For those of you not familiar with the "Chef" let me give you a brief introduction. The culinary comeback of "Top Chef" runner-up Dale Levitski, Sprout boasts a French-American prix-fixe bistro menu in the kitchen, and an unprecedented crowdsourced redesign of the restaurant in the front of the house. Join us for a delicious meal and the opportunity to be a part of the redesign and redevelopment of a neighborhood restaurant.

Cheers to Megan and Sprout! A top on my must have's list!

Happy Birthday and cheers to Sprout!

P.S.- they now have expanded and room for more reservations!

Until next time...
