The Girl & the Goat, Chicago

Bloody Mary at The Girl & the Goat. Brunch consisted of the little piggy (sausage sandwich), parantha, and shrimp fried rice. The sausage egg sandwich was the best thing. Though I am not sure what Sichuan sausage means??? They might need to explain it better. Is Sichuan sausage with the Sichuan peppercorns or hua Jiao 花椒??? The shrimp fried rice was unique. Regretted ordering the parantha. Nice space. Valet parking. Street parking is a challenge. . . . . .

Lunch at Manuela in the arts district in DTLA. Started off with the house Bloody Mary with heirloom tomatoes. Then we shared an order of their cast iron biscuits. And we had the venison burger, chilaquiles, and Mary’s grilled chicken sandwich. Their outdoor seating in this reclaimed flour factory is a really interesting setting. With the art galleries nearby it resembles the Beijing’s 798 art district. Manuela also has a garden area that is open evenings where you can eats and drink next to a chicken coop. Parking sucks in this area. But they do have valet parking available. . . . . . .

Cold brew tea and lunch at Steep. Had the braised pork on rice, the chicken rice, and pork soup noodles. I think the pork soup noodles were the best. I loved the flavorful broth. The chicken rice, similar to a Hainan chicken rice, did have the expected garlic rice - but it wasn’t suppose to hence the name. The braised pork over rice with the soft boiled egg was not bad. I did like my pu-erh tea. I like the glass bottles. . . . . . . .
