Did you know National Pizza Day is 2/9/2017! I don’t know about you, but I have never met ANYONE who doesn’t like pizza. I AM not only a Yelp Elite foodie, but a pizza connoisseur. (If there was such a thing I promise I would be one). 🙂  I dissect every inch of the pizza from the crust (I like it buttery and thin), to the sauce (Marinara with a little spice), to the ingredients (no weird stuff like pineapples please, but bring on the garlic!); to the cheese (Mozzarella and Parmesan YUMMY!)…..I’m drooling now are you!? Pizza isn’t just a slice of pie to a Chicagoan… it’s symbolic. We’re known for our Deep Dish Pizza’s! If you ask me though our thin crust pizzas are just as good.

What’s your favorite? Looking to try out a new pizza joint? Well…..may I suggest the CHICAGO PIZZA PARTY Festival? Say What?!?!? Yes, there will be a party in Chicago with the focus on PIZZA!!! It’s going down on 2/11/2017! See participating establishments and details below. Grab your sweet heart, friend, parent, child, brother, sister, BFF, or just bring yourself. Either way……GO!!!  

Chicago Pizza Party

The Chicago Pizza Party is Chicago’s premier pizza festival, showcasing the city’s delicious culinary talent with 20 of the top pizza restaurants competing for “Best Pie in Chi” while local breweries serve up beer tastings in our VIP beer garden. If endless food and beverage isn’t enough, fun games, photo booth and the hottest DJs this cold city has to offer are sure to keep you entertained! This is not your average food festival!

Pizano’s Thin Crust Rudy’s Special

So you might be wondering what my FAVORITE Pizza place is….drumroll……Pizano’s! I have Pizano’s on my speed dial for delivery. I cannot get enough of the Rudy’s thin crust special (green peppers, mushrooms, sausage, and onions). I’m in good company cause Oprah’s favorite pizza is Pizano’s too. It’s funny because my next favorite pizza place is Lou Malnati’s and come to find out their brothers! 🙂  Yes the owner of Pizano’s and Lou Malnati’s are brothers. Their father Rudy Malnati Sr. opened his first restaurant Pizzeria Uno, in 1943 in Chicago. I love Chicago has so much history with pizza and we have some of the best pizza in the nation!

I also must give shout out to Home Run Inn because growing up that is ALL I wanted! Can’t wait to revisit my favorites and try some new one’s. See you at the Chicago Pizza Party!

Memorial Day weekend is coming up and what better Memorial Day weekend is coming up and what better way to kick off summer than… on a BOAT! Yesterday I joined Chicago Line Cruises on their signature architecture river tour. We did a 90 minute cruise down the river as our expert guide discussed the history, impact, and legacy of Chicago’s renowned architecture. 𝑨𝑵𝑫 on Thursdays they’ll be hosting wine and whisky tastings. Congrats to 40 years on the historic Ogden Strip! Get your tickets TODAY!

I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adve I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adventure! @Kalahariresortswisconsindells unveiled a collection of luxury Treehouses created in partnership with Pete Nelson of @NelsonTreehouse, widely known as the host of Animal Planet’s 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔. 

I attended an intimate media preview. Pete Nelson and Todd Nelson, founder of @Kalahariresorts, shared the inspiration, craftsmanship, and vision behind the Treehouses on our guided tour. The treehouses provide an elevated escape. They’re a nature-forward expansion celebrating the beauty of the Dells and the magic of living among the trees. Also onsite is a relaxing pool and hot tub.

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮!

As a foodie my FAVORITE part is well the FOOD. 😆 I loved my dinner at Chef @Fabioviviani restaurant @altosteakhouse. We also enjoyed the Food Bazaar located on the ground floor. There’s six restaurants within the food bazaar and they’re all you can eat. I highly recommend heading to Chicago Southland for a staycation @wcsouthland.

I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Cree I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Creek Southland Spa. 😌

@Wcsouthlandspa is 11,000+ square feet and overlooks the Chicago skyline. The peaceful retreat is guided by a deep commitment to holistic wellness and relaxation. I started off in the heated jacuzzi whirl pool and then had a a rejuvenating facial. My skin was glowing immediately! My friend decided to do a cupping massage for the first time and she could feel the detoxification running through her body. 

Afterwards we both enjoyed the sauna and relaxed with some refreshing fruit infused water while overlooking the skyline. It was the perfect Sunday Funday. Check them out! 📍17300 S Halsted St, Hazel Crest, IL located inside @Wcsouthland
