Hello everyone!

The Original Fried Chicken Sandwich, Honey Butter Fried Chicken
This Week’s Episode: Senza, Nicksons Eatery, Honey Butter Fried Chicken

Hello!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and is ready to see some new episodes of Check, Please! starting tonight! We have a great line-up! I don’t think I have to do more than just name one of the restaurants –Honey Butter Fried Chicken – to pique your interest. Doesn’t that name alone make you want to go there and check it out…especially with the arctic temps we’ve been having! On these cold days, I’ve been craving all of my favorite comfort foods…and perfectly crisp, fried chicken with a dollop of honey butter on it seems like the perfect meal at this time of year!

Sugar Factory American Brasserie
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth at Two New Candy Lands

The holidays may be over, but candy-eating is always in season, especially when Chicago recently welcomed two sugary juggernauts to its dining and snacking scene. Las Vegas-based Sugar Factory American Brasserie made its Chicagoland debut in Rosemont, while New York City’s famed Dylan’s Candy Bar sweetened up Michigan Avenue downtown.
