We've traveled across the country from west to east, learning about spring menus at many fabulous restaurants. It seemed appropriate to end this article series with a restaurant that has locations in multiple states. We were able to speak with Chef Chris Gatto, the executive chef for Uno Chicago Grill. Originally known for their deep dish pizza, this restaurant offers so much more.
When I spoke with Chef Gatto, he was working in the test kitchens for Uno, located in Boston, Massachusetts. It was interesting to learn about the wide variety of food items available. We focused our conversation

During a summer trip to Baltimore, my husband and I spent one evening strolling the Inner Harbor. With a simple plan of walking and occasionally stopping for a cocktail and a snack, we found many enjoyable restaurants. Our last stop of the night was at Charleston. Upon entering, the restaurant emanated a luxurious atmosphere. We enjoyed an hour or so in their lounge, speaking with our waitress and sampling a dish. We knew that we would need to return for a full evening of dining.
Two weeks ago we had the good fortune to travel to Baltimore on business and

Ithaki, Ipswich, MA

I was invited to dinner at Ithaki last week. Bringing my husband for company, we made the hour drive in hopes of finding a tasty meal ahead. Much to our delight, we enjoyed a delicious three-course meal that was filled with great food, excellent service, and pleasant atmosphere.
Dining at Ithaki on a Thursday night, we were 15 minutes early for our reservations but were able to be seated early. We were offered seats in the bar area near the evening's musical performer. Asked if this location would be acceptable, we agreed. The acoustic guitar made for great background

Artichoke Salad

On a recent Tapas Monday, I lacked creativity. I had a meeting near a great Italian specialty shop, so I decided to seek inspiration there. As I knew would happen, I wasn't disappointed. I found more cheeses than one would need for a dinner for two, assorted cured meats, and interesting crackers. However, cheese, charcuterie, and crackers don't necessarily make enough of a meal, at least when your dinner companion is a man with a hearty appetite.
As I was checking out their olives, I noticed that they also had roasted tomatoes in extra virgin olive oil. While I normally would

West Street Grill, Litchfield, CT

Our Independence Day weekend was a huge tour of the Northeast. Our journey took us to Maine on Friday, Saint John on Saturday, Saint Andrews on Sunday (which ended with a quick stop at home to unpack and repack), and Litchfield, CT, on Monday. You might wonder how we chose Litchfield as the destination for the holiday, and the answer is quite simple. We needed to be in Manhattan for business on Tuesday, Litchfield was halfway, and Haight-Brown Vineyard had a Red White and Blues celebration that evening.
