This weekend my boyfriend and I had planned to stay in the city and take the weekend off since we were off parent duty. Because we worked out 4 days in a row we decided to chill all weekend and worry about working out on Monday.
Our weekend was filled with down time and yummy food that was not the healthiest, but I guess you can do that once in a while, specially when your eating healthy and working out.
On Friday we went to Kumas Corner, which is known for having the best burgers in Chicago. This is a metal/tattoo bar that is everything but conventional. Because I am more of a hot dog person my favorite burger so far is the "Goblin Cock", a 10 oz. burger topped with Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, ¼lb. Vienna Hot Dog, Tomatoes, Onion, Neon Green Relish, Sport Peppers, Pickles and Celery Salt Mustard served on a pretzel roll.
While on our way back we drove by Bleeding Heart, a cupcake bakery that had the most amazing red velvet cupcake I've ever tasted. Let me just say, in my defense, I only ate half my burger and maybe half of my cupcakes with probably less than half of the frosting (not a frosting person).
We also went to Quartino and had the most amazing duck prosciutto with awesome Italian food and of course some great wine. Saturday night was perfect, we headed to the "it" place in the city... Sunda, new Asian cuisine restaurant with contemporary interpretation of traditional Asian dishes. The food was amazing, hot dishes were a lot more impressive than the sushi and the presentation was just amazing. My advice, if you want to hit this hot spot make sure to make your reservation well in advance. I was able to get in Saturday at 10:30 p.m. and that because I knew the manager.
Needless to say, after a weekend of down time and great food I am back to my workout routine and healthy eating. I just can't wait to hit the gym and do some serious cardio to burn all the calories that I put in my body during the weekend.
XOXO!
