Everything's Better with Cheese, Right?

What's better than Mac & Cheese covered in cheese, topped with cheese all wrapped between two slices of cheese on Texas toast? Cheesies in Lakeview is awesome...their food at least. My boyfriend and I went on a Sunday afternoon and ordered two sandwiches, two soups, friend pickles, sweet potato fries & two beers. Props to the guy at the register, he was probably thee only honest worker who we interacted with. The bar tender was wasted & the guy controlling the music was basically just walking around rapping & doing nothing. Rap music with very explicit lyrics was blasting so loud we almost forgot it was a Sunday afternoon. Everyone walking by probably thought it was a day time club. EXCELLENT food-awful staff (except for the very helpful guy at the register). Get this to-go but do not dine in. 

Teppanyaki, Lesbians, and Rock & Roll

A best friends birthday is the best excuse to start chatting about something I love.
Friends, the City, and Food.
 Ron of Japan in Streeterville downtown Chicago is the perfect intimate setting for a birthday. Great food and great company. Naturally, I struggled a bit with the language barrier that our waitress faced. Who can argue that little Japanese women are not the cutest. However, when she gave the birthday girl the option of "on the rocks or straight up" after ordering a......martini, I should have realized that there might be other misunderstandings coming. Chicken soup, rice, sautéed veggies, shrimp, steak, and dessert, left everyone more than satisfied. The dessert option was ice cream: your choice of Green Tea, Orange Sherbet, Rainbow Sherbet, and....Rock & Roll--"that's like chocolate" says the waitress. Ohhhh, you mean... Rocky Road...
Im sure the two gorgeous lesbians sharing the table with us loved the birthday girls' "girl-guy" talk. Pleasantly surprised, they both left smiling. Cheers to cute Asians who smile graciously when I misunderstand, non judgmental lesbians, and birthdays.
Nice work Ron of Japan, Nice work. Remember to make a reservation :)
