Triple D in Chicago: Panozzo's



Round 2 of the Triple D adventure. Panozzo's on Michigan Avenue. It's a small upscale Italian market/deli with a wide selection of meats and cheeses.


Kris' sandwich. It's good. No roaches.

A salad with rolled oats and veggies/fruit.


The lasagna that made this place famous. It's got all the right texture you'd expect from a lasagna. The beef and pork are super YUM! And there's something about the cheese and binds it all together so nicely. One of the best lasagnas I've ever tasted. Just wished I had more.. Sephie ate my portion.

Lillian's something-something wrapped in something. It was REALLY good. Wish I remember what was it called or what was in it. I really need to order this next time. YUMM!


The 'ol signature:


Chicago: Navy Pier














Chicago: Lincoln Park Zoo

First day in Chicago, we hit the zoo. Lincoln Park Zoo. It's free and it's awesome. Great weather for it too.

Triple D in Chicago: Taste of Peru



After watching many episodes of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (aka Triple D), we set out to taste test some of the fine diners during our Chicago trip. This one definitely didn't disappoint.


Peruvian Tamales: Soft and mushy. Not a texture that would inspire anything great let alone good. I have no idea what Aji is. But.. it tastes great still! YUM!



Papa Rellena: I love mashed potatoe.. but, deep fried?!? You kidding me? Then you stuff it with all sorts of good ingredients too?!?! Wow...YUMM!!



Estofado de Carne o Pollo: Best stew ever! HUGE chunks of tenderly cooked beef. Potatoes with something I would usually dislike as an ingredient in anything.. olives.. but... still...YUMMM!!!



The "Guy" that brought us here!
