Welcome to the first of many posts on Art and Chelsea’s “Pleasant Places for Eating and Drinking in Chicago.” Chelsea and I have been together for more than 10 years and have not only been to a ton of “pleasant places” but we have amassed a decade’s worth of favorites. Because most people know us as foodies, it’s only natural that they would ask us where we like to go. My question is always, “for what?” We like to go to a lot of different places depending on what we are in the mood for.
We’re both really excited about this project because, for one, it should be pretty entertaining for you and hopefully it will come in handy if you are near a place that we’ve been to and you are hungry or thirsty. The other reason we’re excited about this is because we are looking forward to hitting up some of our favorite places that we haven’t been to in a while.
Expect to see fun and exciting adventures as we travel throughout the city and the greater Chicago area eating, drinking, and exploring all of our favorite things food and drink. You can expect high end, low end, and ethnic, and expect the unexpected because that’s just how we roll.
So let’s hit the first place on our list, Fado. Chelsea and I came here on some of our first dates and have been coming back ever since–for the Irish breakfast. To be honest, we’re not really big brunch people. In fact, we’re not really big anything involving a lot of people jammed into one place at one time kind of people. So, we’ll take our brunch in the modest confines of a seat-yourself, wood-clad pub in the form of a plate of over-easy eggs, two kinds of blood sausage, Irish rashers, bangers, grilled tomatoes, Irish soda bread, and a “proper” pint of Guinness, thank you. And it will usually be on a late, lazy Sunday afternoon on a characteristically cold Chicago day. Oh, and we threw in an order of curry chips just for the hell of it. There doesn’t seem to be beans on the Irish breakfast anymore (bummer), so the chips are a nice carbstitute.
Without further adieu, the Irish breakfast at Fado. Grab a cold one and tuck in.
