Oh my! I didn't think it was possible after 2 full days of eating and being un-wowed by the culinary scene in Chicago. So after changing my search strategy to just high ratings, not necessarily the most reviews on Yelp, I came across Little Goat, which looks really cute and they do get high marks, but not necessarily the most reviews...so we make our way...
It's a little further than the places we have been going to in the downtown area. We finally start to walk up and I get a good feeling at just the way the street it's situated on. We walk in and wow, it's so cute! I love it! It's got this retro earthy feel...lots of character! That's what I've been missing on our trip. I mean we liked RPM, but it didn't have much character. We sit in a cute little 2 seater booth and the server, our wonderful Sara, greets us. She helps us through the menu, Matt is being healthy and boring so he makes his own omelette and I follow her suggestion and get the Prathas Burrito (indian flatbread . sunny side eggs . avocado-bean salad . chili pepper sauce . sheep's milk cheddar), $13 and I also get one Sourdough pancake. I was a little apprehensive about the burrito, but man when it came out and I tasted it, wow, it was exactly what I wanted! It was tasty, creative, but actually tasted somewhat healthy too. It wasn't too heavy. But, most importantly it was delicious! And when I finished that, I had the Sourdough pancake...no joke, best pancake I've ever had! It wasn't doughy, but kind of spongey with subtly crispy edges, mm...so good! I gave Matt a try and he agreed, it was pretty good. Goodness, please go visit Little Goat if you haven't, it such a cute place and the food is so awesome! Love all the character in the food and atmosphere! And our sever Sara...she was super awesome and helped us with our dinner plans! Her suggestions were Ada, the Winchester, Kuma, and a few other places. We tried Ada and she was right, super awesome restaurant, again character in food and atmosphere! I want to put this restaurant in my pocket and take it with me to Houston! Obviously a must try!
