To Kiss The Cook
http://tokissthecook.blogspot.com
I am a twenty-something publicist getting by on small writers' paychecks by experimenting with good food in the kitchen, keeping tabs on the beauty industry, planning phantom adventures to far-off lands (I do take one of them a year, but I like to plan for 5-6) and harmlessly lusting over the things I cannot yet afford when I come across them. I also live in Wicker Park, a great neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chicago, so I can typically be counted on for restaurant reviews or at least remembering what I ate. BYOB dinner with friend(s) and a live show = ideal night out. Couldn't have picked a better spot for it.
