chicago asian american showcase

As a huge fan of the SFIAAFF, I encourage everyone in Chicago to attend our local equivalent, the Chicago Asian American Showcase at the Gene Siskel Film Center.

Here's what I plan on watching:
PING PONG PLAYA
PRETTY TO THINK SO
WEST 32ND
THE KILLING OF A CHINESE COOKIE

first meal

One topic of conversation during our trip to India was "what will be your first meal upon returning to the States?" After two weeks of no beef or salad, there was no question that a nice, juicy burger was on the horizon for me. Although I was craving Kuma's Corner, I decided to stay local and try the burger at Rosebud Steakhouse, widely known as one of the best in Chicago. At $12.95 for a 12 oz. burger with bleu cheese, it did not disappoint.
