Chicago
After eleven years, Chicago has given itself a fresh start, not by changing what people love, but by making space for it. A new interior, a bigger kitchen, a strong focus on great coffee, and the same generous brunches that made the place a favorite in the first place. From a comforting English breakfast to cinnamon French toast for sweet teeth, this is Chicago as you remember it, only better.
Karma Kitchen
As many of you already know, I’m a die-hard fan of Indian food—especially when it comes with a British twist. I’ve been known to plan entire trips to the UK with one thing in mind: curry. There’s just nothing quite like that rush of heat, the explosion of spices, the depth of flavor that lingers long after the meal is done. My love for it goes far beyond the classics like chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. This is a full-blown, weekly craving.
A Casa Mia
On Rue de Flandre, A Casa Mia—or as the locals lovingly call it, “Filippo’s”—is a true cornerstone of the Sainte-Catherine area. This family-owned gem has been a staple of the neighborhood for decades, offering a slice of Roman hospitality and flavors right in the heart of Brussels.
