bvsc: Hooray I got a new job! So what better way to celebrate the amazing news than a night out on the outskirts of Chicago in a kitschy and windowless tiki bar, Hala Kahiki, to down enormous fruity drinks. There’s no food here mofos, just page after page of drinks. Just how mama likes. -Braised Bombshell

bvsc: In continuation of my overeating binge, I eagerly “forgot” the huge entree portions at Venus and casually placed an appetizer order… an appetizer FOR ONE. Fried calamari tossed with green onions, soy sauce and jalapenos. Nom nom nom! -Braised Bombshell

bvsc: Black bean chicken with veggies, I couldn’t resist. It’s a fortunate Achilles heel, whenever I see anything “black bean sauce” I give in and set all other options aside. That being said, this was the first time I ate a dish like this where all the onions and veggies were diced instead of julienned. The result was a crisp bite with every forkful, Venus does it again.  > . < -Braised Bombshell

There’s no better place to get eye level with the stranger side of foodstuffs. As someone who loves to be constantly exposed to “WTF” proteins these little shells did the trick for the week. This one be my last visit to my hood’s asian market.

My perfectly seared rib eye steak. God bless my iron skillet, a meal fit for a king in about 6 minutes (well 9 if you count letting the steak rest).
