Still going thru some Chicago content. I tried to have some good breakfasts while there. The first was this amazing waffle from @wildberrypancakesandcafe. This is the Signature Berry Bliss and I got it so I'd have some fresh fruit. Another day I got fried chicken on a donut from @doritedonuts and an additional chocolate frosted donut because these is more my style of breakfast.

Let's face it, we all eat in bed. Might as well do it with some delicious cookies from @insomniacookies. They sent me a box to taste their new breakfast flavors of Cereal N' Milk, Everything Bagel and Cinnamon Bun. The Cereal N' Milk is made with Fruity Pebbles, marshmallows and white chocolate. The Everything Bagel was the most interesting with a cool savory & sweet mix.

Just a reminder this is still still a #Pittsburgh based account with some chicken and waffles from @bubbaspgh at @galleybakerysquare. Those waffles were sweet and fluffy.

I've been traveling a lot and still working thru some of those meals. Ive also been trying to make more meals at home and honestly some of those have just been boring or not pretty. Soon I'll be back to Alex eating too much at local establishments more regularly.

Just look at the size of that NY Strip! It was sooooo good. It was served on a bed of mashed celery root and roasted carrots. Dessert was mini cakes, which I love. I wrote a mini blog post years ago on my love of mini pastry. I was in Milwaukee this weekend to celebrate the wedding of my friends @rbrick50 and @alec_sm1th. They had a beautiful ceremony and an incredible reception with clearly an amazing meal.

#AD I was starving and needed a fast, savory and large meal. @McDonalds Rewards program was clutch with deals on McNuggets and fries. I was able to get 20 nuggets, fries and a drink so cheap. I also earned reward points with the new #MyMcDonaldsRewards program! I used the McDonald's app when ordering at the restaurant to take advantage of a great deal and earn rewards points. Later I can redeem those points for more food next time I have a craving. The app has lots of different deals that can be used for discounts towards some of your favorite McDonald's items like the Big Mac and those delicious fries. The app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

I made sure on my Chicago trip to make a reservation well in advance for at least 1 really cool restaurant. I settled on @rosemarychicago. The head chef is a Top Chef winner. My meal was Pork Ribs Pampenella made with calabrian chile agrodolce, walnuts, cabbage & yogurt relish and Stracciatella made with heirloom tomato, fennel pollen, basil, balsamic, lepinja. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the Stracciatella was delightful and refreshing. There was so much on the menu I wanted to try but it's so difficult as one person.

I finally got to try @bridgecitybrinery last weekend. I had seen so many delicious looking posts including one by @sophisticatedsandwich that I needed to try this already. This is The General. It's a massive pork belly sandwich swimming in Tso sauce and topped with kewpie mayo, pickled onions and scallions. This was one of the best and most filling sandwiches I've eaten this year. I also got a side of the onion tots, which are deep fried balls of mashed onions. I can't wait to try more of their sandwiches soon!

#AD I like to eat @mcdonalds Big Mac when I get a craving every now and then. Now @mcdonalds is rewarding me when I get those cravings with their new #MyMcDonaldsRewards program! This one might look a little messy but it's a tasty burger with it's secret sauce. I used the McDonald's app when ordering at the restaurant to take advantage of a great deal and earn rewards points. Later I can redeem those points for more food next time I have a craving.

I've been eating a lot of veggies lately. I signed up for @412foodrescue Ugly CSA and my garden has been overflowing with tomatoes and peppers. A great way to use up some of those was make up a ton of Shakshuka starter. This summer I've eaten so much zucchini, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, carrots, beets and green beans because of knowing I'm going to have a regular supply of veggies. But soon I'll be back to my regular unhealthy content.

This weekend was a busy one in #Pittsburgh. Yesterday I hit up #picklesburgh to get all my pickled eats. My favorite yesterday was the Smoked Brisket at the @meat_potatoes booth in the Allegheny Overlook. This event is a must visit for a pickle lover. Be warned, it gets crowded.

I went to @garbarinopgh the other day for their @pghrestaurantwk menu. The definitely didn't skimp on the portions. I got for my meal a giant bowl of Rigatoni Siciliana and the mealballs appetizer. I was so unbelievably full after dinner and my meal was great.
