Dinner with Joe (not me Joe, another Joe...though I was there too)

Everything went pretty well this weekend with the many events going on.  The ribs we had for dinner on Thursday and Friday were delicious. Saturday we hit the Ribfest on Lincoln avenue and then Nick Markakis' apartment for a party celebrating the arrival of his new roommate. After a few hours there, it was off to dinner with Joe and Kendra from Highland Park, a northern burb. We met them up in Evanston at a place called Stained Glass. It's a ritzy place, but interesting because the "stained glass" wasn't like church stained glass. Nope, it was like WINE stained glass. Very cool logo of a glass stain on a napkin or table and they made sure to just slightly miss-pour their wine so that it left a circular stain on your table paper/linen. Very cool.  The food was VERY good, but like I said, not inexpensive.



Here's Joe and Kendra! Joe got the Tuna, Tuna, Tuna dish which, as the name implies, serves you tuna three ways. Kendra got the barramundi. I forgot to ask her how it was. We had grilled calamari (good), bacon and eggs (delicious) and salad with smoked trout (awesome) as appetizers. You need to check out the menu for the descriptions.

And here's me and LL. I ordered the filet mignon with a side of short rib pot-au-feu for dipping which was awesome. LL had the free range chicken (forgot to ask her too...I was very involved with my own meal!).  If you go, get the flights of wine. They are 3 glasses and EACH glass had a pour that is slightly smaller than a regular pour, so you come out way ahead for only $5 more!

We love Joe and Kendra dearly, so it was a great way to finish off a very fun day!!
