<a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Tower-of-Love.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-532" title="Tower-of-Love" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Tower-of-Love.jpg" alt="Tower-of-Love" width="626" height="626" /></a><br />
Chocolate has long been seen as the quintessential aphrodisiac and the sung secret to a woman’s heart. Chicago artisanal chocolate and confections company, truffle truffle, is amping up the heat this Valentine’s Day with the Valentine’s Collection of Aphrodisiac Truffles and Caramels. Whether or not these ingredients truly hold the magical powers of love and arousal, the seasonal flavors of these treats are sure to satisfy Valentine’s sweet cravings at the very least, and the rest is up to you.</p>
<p>Truffle Truffle’s Aphrodisiac Truffles include flavors to stimulate the senses of mango ginger, double dark chocolate, raspberry mint and chili. Founder, Nicole Greene explains the vision behind her aphrodisiac line, “I wanted to play with flavors that combined both the sweet and savory side of the kitchen and also have a history of being associated with beauty, love and arousal for a fun take on the standard sweets for Valentine’s Day.”<br />
<a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Truffle-Mango-Ginger.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-533" title="Truffle-Mango-Ginger" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Truffle-Mango-Ginger.jpg" alt="Truffle-Mango-Ginger" width="626" height="626" /></a><br />
In addition to unique truffles, truffle truffle’s Aphrodisiac Caramels include tantalizing flavors inspired by ingredients used throughout history in rituals of love and seduction such as bananas foster, pear anise, amaretto peach and vanilla saffron. Or for a personal touch, try a jar of housemade Marshmallow Hearts with natural ingredients of passion fruit, coffee or raspberry enrobed in rich white, milk and dark chocolate respectively.<br />

<p><strong><a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shinto_steakhouse.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-508" title="shinto steakhouse" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/shinto_steakhouse.jpg" alt="shinto steakhouse" width="625" height="459" /></a>Looking for Dinner with a Kick?</strong><br />
If you’re sick of the overpriced (and boring) candle-lit dinner for two, give hibachi a try! At Shinto Japanese Steakhouse in Naperville, you and yours can enjoy unique cocktails and freshly flown-in sushi in addition to their signature hibachi. Shinto also features a variety of delicious bubbly. A bonus? Their environmentally-friendly, smokeless Hibachi grills allow you to enjoy the experience and leave without smelling like your dinner. Visit <a href="http://www.shintoexperience.com">www.shintoexperience.com</a> for more information.</p>
<p><strong>Looking for a Laugh?</strong><br />
If you and your mate love nothing more than a good laugh, give musical sketch comedy a try this Valentines Day with Chicago’s own Cupid Players. Take your date to see the acclaimed show, “Cupid Has a Heart On: A Musical Guide to Relationships,” a 75-minute review of comedy sketches and song. The Cupid Players perform at the IO Theatre (formerly ImprovOlympic), located at 3541 N. Clark Street. Tickets can be purchased by calling (773) 880.0199. More information available at <a href="http://www.cupidplayers.com">www.cupidplayers.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Looking for Something Morbid?</strong><br />
For lovebirds with an interest in the macabre side of 2/14, head over to Tommy Guns Garage 1920’s themed dinner theater for an authentic reenactment of the St. Valentines Day Massacre. A word of warning- there’s nothing romantic about this bloody Valentines homage. Tommy Guns Garage is located at 2114 South Wabash. Tickets range from $65-75 (the price includes dinner) and can be purchased at <a href="http://www.tommygunsgarage.com">www.tommygunsgarage.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Looking for a Weekend Away?</strong><br />
If some time away is all you need, try a weekend getaway at the couples-focused Sybaris Pool Suites. With various locations in the Chicagoland area, the whirlpool and swimming pool suites at Sybaris allow you and your partner to enjoy a relaxing, romantic night away- no suit required. Visit <a href="http://www.sybaris.com" target="_blank">www.sybaris.com</a> for rates and booking information.</p>

<p>About Patty Burger:<br />
Gregg Majewski, owner and creator of Patty Burger, was the driving force behind the success of Jimmy John’s early in the company’s development. Gregg took his comprehensive experience in the food and beverage industry and opened Patty Burger in 2007. Patty Burger’s approach to creating one of the country’s best burgers is simple: Keep it fresh. You’ll find this mantra manifested in everything they do at the restaurant. From the freshly packed 100% beef patties and hand-cut fries to the fresh produce used to dress their burgers, the meticulous care put into Patty Burger always results in natural and delicious food. This attention to detail has not gone unnoticed. Although Patty Burger is a relatively new concept, it has garnered accolades from many of the city’s most trusted sources like Metromix and Time Out for having the best burger in Chicago. With one location in Chicago (72 E. Adams – 312.987.0900) and the other in Milwaukee (1952 N. Farewell – 414.271.3800), Patty Burger is quickly becoming a true food icon.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I dare you to find something on this <a href="http://www.stanleyskitchenandtap.com">menu</a> &#8212; and especially the specials menu &#8212; to where you don&#8217;t lick your plate clean. Even though our portions are HUGE the majority of our food gets finished and there is a reason why everyone takes home the rest if their stomachs prove smaller than their eyes. </p>

<p>Executive Chef Jaysen creates masterful specials every Thursday and Saturday that are far beyond what you would expect at a Southern-style comfort food restaurant. With specials such as Duck Confit Shepherd&#8217;s Pie (my favorite) or the Elvis Burger (attached above, I have a larger res photo if needed) with house made pimento cheese dripping over a 1/2 pound angus burger with onion rings, applewood bacon, lettuce and tomato &#8212; they sell out of them almost every time. </p>
<p>I invite you to try for yourself the surprisingly amazing food served everyday at Stanley&#8217;s Kitchen and Tap. </p>

<p>Few quotes we found about Stanley&#8217;s&#8230; mmhmmmm  </p>
<p>“Staying true to the neighborhood bar formula, Stanley’s has built its longstanding reputation on providing a comfortable atmosphere and good food for its loyal patrons,” said Arthur Frommer, The New York Times. </p>
<p> “The food is good; the service always friendly. Stanley’s is the only place I feel at home,” said Cornelius Lee, a Stanley’s regular. “There is a reason I have been coming here for the past 15 years.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to cooking shrimp, it’s easy to resort to the simplistic preparations of a Shrimp Scampi or shrimp with pasta, but Between Boutique Café and Lounge in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood is putting a South American twist on shrimp with their delectable dishes of the Spicy Shrimp Soup and Sweet Potato Wrapped Shrimp.</p>
<p>With inspirations from Between’s consulting chef, Jose Victorio, Peruvian background, both dishes are packed with bright, beautiful flavors to bring out the best in shrimp. The <strong>Sweet Potato Wrapped Shrimp</strong> take a concept similar to Coconut Shrimp to a whole new level. The sweet crustaceans are wrapped in shredded sweet potatoes then fried for an exceptional crunchy, succulent taste. The shrimp are then served with a passion fruit reduction and balsamic micro greens.</p>
<p>Between’s <strong>Spicy Shrimp Soup</strong> is a classic Peruvian dish from Chef Victorio that exposes guests to the traditional ingredients of Peruvian cuisine. With the spice of the aji panca, a traditional Peruvian chile pepper with a mild, yet smokey, fruity taste to the massive Andean corn, with kernels about the size of a dime, this dish elevates the best of South American food. The dish also includes rice and a poached egg on top to complete round out the massive amounts of flavor in the Spicy Shrimp Soup.</p>
<p>ABOUT BETWEEEN BOUTIQUE CAFÉ &amp; LOUNGE:<br />
Between Boutique Café &amp; Lounge is a plush and romantic lounge that serves a creative fusion of Peruvian – Asian small plates, as well as many equally creative and delectable cocktails. Between is the second restaurant in the Wicker Park area for owner, Carl Anderson, Between was created and inspired by his wife Lu Lu. Between’s atmosphere and decor is as beautiful and unpredictable as Lu Lu’s personality.<br />
The seasonal menu created by consulting chef Jose Victorio reflects the bold-styling of the restaurant itself and has garnered many accolades as well as fans in the neighborhood. Between fuses lounge and café together seamlessly with NYC flair. However, the sexy night vibe is all Chicago, which explains why so people can’t resist locking lips on the seductive and secluded couches.

<p><em><a href="http://www.miafrancesca.com">Francesca’s Restaurants</a> Chef Shares His Eggplant Secrets</em></p>
<p>When it comes to well-rounded Italian menus, good eggplant is a must. But making the perfect eggplant requires skill and a few tricks of the trade – fortunately, Chef Massimo of <a href="http://www.miafrancesca.com">Francesca’s Restaurants</a> has expert tips for any chef.</p>
<p>“The main thing to remember is that eggplant is extremely absorbent, so you must be careful when it comes to the sautéing; use only a small amount of extra virgin olive oil,” says <a href="http://www.miafrancesca.com">Francesca’s Restaurants</a> Corporate Chef Massimo Salatino. “I prefer to cook eggplant in the Sicilian-style where you sauté only lightly and then bake the eggplant in the oven at 400 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes.”</p>
<p>There are dozens of ways to serve your finished product. One of Chef Massimo’s favorite ways to serve eggplant is in a salad with aged balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, arugula, beefsteak tomatoes, grilled onions and fresh crumbled blue cheese. The dish is so popular that it was added to the Francesca’s Restaurants menu, called Insalata Massimo.</p>
<p>Chef Massimo learned this style of cooking from his days in working at Il Passatore (The Traveler), a small pizzeria on the Lake of Varese in Italy’s Lombardy region. You won’t find a stove in a classic Italian pizza restaurant, so chefs find themselves using the oven.</p>

<p>Grilling the <a href="http://www.grottooakbrook.com">Perfect Italian Steak</a> is an easy and great way to enhance your Labor Day Holiday. Chef Abraham Aguirre, from <a href="http://www.grottooakbrook.com">Grotto Italian Steakhouse in Oak Brook</a> has tips on how to prepare this succulent dish.</p>
<p>Chef Abraham suggests preparing a Porterhouse Steak which lets you enjoy the filet and the strip at the same time, however an individual ribeye, filet, or sirloin would be just as delicious. Also, the freshest ingredients you use the better the flavor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/steak-on-grill.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-352" title="steak-on-grill" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/steak-on-grill.jpg" alt="steak-on-grill" width="611" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Combine The Following Spices:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Salt and Pepper (Sea Salt) is recommended for a lighter and sweater salt.</li>
<li>Chives</li>
<li>Basil</li>
<li>Thyme</li>
<li>Rosemary</li>
<li>Italian Leaf Parsley</li>
<li>Fresh Garlic</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">*To add more of a spicy flair add a few flakes of crushed red pepper to your marinade*</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Mix the spices with Extra Virgin Olive Oil to form a pesto like substance.</li>
<li>Spread the sauce over the steak and let it marinade for a few hours.</li>
<li>Make sure that the grill is anywhere from 600-800°F and keep it at that temperature for 30-45 minutes before starting to grill.  High direct heat when grilling steaks is almost as important as the meat itself.</li>
<li>Grill over medium heat for five to eight minutes, and top it off over two to three minutes over high heat.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">*When grilling steaks, one should always use tongs or a spatula to turn a steak over*</span></p>
<p>Serve with a side of vegetables such as grilled asparagus, or a baked potato, and of course a glass of red wine will make you feel as though you are in Florence indulging in the Perfect Italian Steak.</p>

<p>Get the feel of the islands without having to leave the comfort of your home. <a href="http://www.shintoexperience.com" target="_blank">Shinto Japanese Steakhouse &amp; Sushi Bar in Naperville</a> has created a delicious and creative way to enjoy those Rastafarian colors in a unique sushi roll. The Rasta Roll is one of the many creative and delicious rolls that they’ve created for their menu. From the Fire &amp; Ice roll to their award-winning “Little” Delicious Roll, Shinto uses the freshest ingredients to combine flavors that will melt in your mouth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Rockin-Rasta-Roll-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-341" title="Rockin-Rasta-Roll-1" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Rockin-Rasta-Roll-1.jpg" alt="Rockin-Rasta-Roll-1" width="704" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>The Rasta Roll is made with spicy white tuna, avocado and cucumber, topped with seared white tuna, miso sauce, eel sauce and a colorful array of red and yellow tobiko complete the colorful display of <a href="http://www.shintoexperience.com" target="_blank">sushi</a>.  The fresh white tuna literally melts in your mouth from the moment you devour this delectable roll. It’s hard to imagine, but the roll tastes just as good, if not better than the way it looks. Shinto sushi is some of the <a href="http://www.shintoexperience.com" target="_blank">best sushi</a> you will ever enjoy, and with such a wide array to choose from, you will never get bored or run out of options to try.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jamba Juice announced today the Chicago debut of its new food menu of delicious and better-for-you wraps, salads, flatbreads and fruit tea infusions.  Launching initially in 18 area locations, the new menu offers busy Chicagoans a satisfying way to grab a tasty meal on the go without sacrificing quality for speed of service.  The new Grab-n- Go food, California Flatbreads and Fruit Tea Infusions are made with high-quality ingredients and designed to meet customer demand for great tasting food that supports a healthy lifestyle.</p>
<p>With customers becoming increasingly savvy about what goes into their food, Jamba Juice was extremely passionate in deciding on ingredients that should not be in their products.  Like all of the Jamba products, the Grab-n-Go food and California Flatbreads contain O grams trans fat, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup.</p>
<p>“In a bustling city like Chicago, our customers are always looking for something they can eat on the run,” said Brian Lee VP of Innovation and Quality, Jamba Juice Company. “Without compromising on taste and quality, we are committed to offering our customers food served fast they won’t feel guilty about eating—at lunch, or dinner, or any time in-between.”</p>
<p>The Grab-n-Go items—a portfolio of ready-made wraps, sandwiches and salads—make a tasty meal that can be enjoyed on the fly.  The Grab-n-Go food selection consists of four different wraps, including an Asian Style Chicken Wrap, Chimichurri Chicken, Greek Goodness  (which is vegetarian) and the Greens and Grains Wrap (which is vegan).  Jamba will also offer a Gobble’licious turkey sandwich and two salads—Caesar the Day!TM and  Ginger Soy Salad Joy.</p>
<p>The California Flatbreads—a perfect combination of yummy ingredients on top of a crispy crust—make a great pairing to any Jamba Juice® smoothie.  An excellent source of protein, the California Flatbreads will come in four different flavors including Four Cheesy, Smokehouse Chicken, Tomo Artichoko and Mediterrane YUM.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Food_Chimichurri_Jamba.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-335" title="Food_Chimichurri_Jamba" src="http://www.chicagofoodblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Food_Chimichurri_Jamba.jpg" alt="Food_Chimichurri_Jamba" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>In addition to the introduction of food, Jamba Juice is extending their drink offerings with the launch of Fruit Tea Infusions—an infusion of organic green tea and natural fruit juices served over crushed ice.  The perfect accompaniment to the new menu items, the Fruit Tea InfusionsTM are made with all-natural ingredients, natural fruit juices, contain no high fructose corn syrup and are an excellent source of Vitamin C.  With a whole serving of fruit and 160 calories in a 16 0z serving, the Pomegranate, Passion Fruit and Prickly Pear are refreshing, healthy, and great for any time of day.<br />
“Chicago represents the most significant launch for food since June, when we kicked off our new menu at over 220 of our California locations,” stated Kim Larson, Vice President Marketing, Jamba Juice Company. “The reception of food by customers has been tremendously positive and we are continuing our expansion nationwide.”</p>
<p>Jamba Juice customers can now enjoy a full menu of food offerings in almost 300 locations, including 18 locations in the Chicago marketplace and over 250 locations across Northern and Southern California. And, as of July 27 2009, New York City marketplace customers can also indulge in California Flatbreads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weiner and Still Champion:  Not just a great hot dog.  Weiner’s also serves a great burger.  If you are really hungry try their huge triple cheeseburger! $</p>
<p>Paradise Pup’s: The bacon cheddar burger was GREAT, as were the 3 layer fries, which include cheddar cheese, sour cream and REAL bacon bits, and the onion rings.  Can have quite a wait but it is worth it! $ http://chicago.citysearch.com/profile/3449406/des_plaines_il/paradise_pup.html</p>
<p>Charlie Beinlich’s: Their menu may be microscopic, but once you bite into its cheeseburger (made from cheese and meat culled from local distributors), you&#8217;ll swear off all other versions for good. $$ http://www.charliebeinlichs.com/  http://www.centerstagechicago.com/restaurants/beinlichs.html</p>
<p>Moody’s:  Their burgers are a real treat&#8211;big without being gargantuan, cooked to perfection, full of flavor and served with deliciously greasy fries, long-cut and with the skin on. $ http://chicago.citysearch.com/profile/3739359</p>
<p>Sweets and Savories: Frequently named the best value in the city, fine dining in a casual setting makes Sweets &amp; Savories perfect for a light dinner, the famous American Kobe hamburger or an elegant chef&#8217;s tasting menu. $$$ http://www.sweetsandsavoriesrestaurant.com/</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite taco stands is underneath the “L” stop on the Red Line at Addison.  They have very authentic Mexican tacos, rellenos and tamales.   The carne asada taco is wonderful!  All of the ingredients are fresh and made right there.  The tacos run a cheap $2 a piece and are available just how you like them.  They offer all the taco fixings, but I love to get mine with the simple traditional cilantro and onion.  If you want an authentic taco at the right price you should give this taco stand a shot!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many sandwiches are unexciting and even dull; the same type of bread with the same type of meat in the same type of establishments.  Well Minnie’s has certainly broken out of the dull sandwich mold!  Although Minnie’s Sandwich Restaurant has only been around for twelve years the story behind their signature Minnie’s burger started in 1975 at Jonathan Segal’s 6th birthday party where his mother deemed them too little to eat a full sized cheeseburger and so she came up with the minnieburger.  Jonathan introduced this burger to the menu at Chicago’s P.J. Clarke’s fourteen years later.   It quickly became a signature item and the basis for Minnie’s Sandwich Restaurant.  All of Minnie’s sandwiches are petite replicas of larger sandwiches.  Each sandwich is held together by one of Minnie’s signature “M” toothpicks and usually has an adornment of some nature on the top.  Served with their infamous frites it is a tiny sandwich that can’t be beat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite things about spring is having cookouts to enjoy the gorgeous weather.  I like to make homemade chili because it’s so versatile and is good on anything.  I like my chili to be full of flavor and good and hot.  This is a great chili recipe that is great on fries, pasta, or just by itself.</p>
<p>Hot Chili</p>
<p>Yield:<br />
6 Servings</p>
<p>Ingredients:<br />
2 table spoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)<br />
1 lb ground beef<br />
1 white onion diced<br />
1 green pepper diced<br />
1 ½ tablespoon of minced fresh garlic<br />
1 can hot stewed chili tomatoes diced<br />
½ cup diced jalapenos<br />
1 can green chilies<br />
1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 tablespoon seasoning salt<br />
1 packet chili powder<br />
2 dried habanero peppers crushed ( remove most of the seeds if you prefer it less intense)<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1 ½ teaspoon black pepper<br />
Tobasco to taste</p>
<p>½ cup of diced onions<br />
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese</p>
<p>1.	In a large skillet add EVOO, diced onions, green peppers,  minced garlic and ground beef.  Cook on medium heat until beef is browned.  Drain grease into a separate container.<br />
2.	Transfer ingredients into large cooking pot.  Add the stewed diced tomatoes, green chilies, and additional seasonings.  Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.<br />
3.	Remove from heat and serve.  Add raw onions and cheese the top.  Enjoy!</p>
