I've been gorging myself on the great restaurant scene on my last few trips. Most recently this weekend my friends and I revisited a favorite, Rick Bayless's Xoco. I don't even like Mexican food but this...everything I've had here is simply fantastic. I had a pork belly and vermicelli caldo (soup) this time--crunchy, spicy, tasty deliciousness. I didn't take a pic, unfortunately, as I was starving and kind of forgot :)
Even better, Rick was at the restaurant this time. My friend tried to be sly about sneaking a pic of him for her husband, who is Mexican and a particularly big fan of Rick's. But then the host asked us if we wanted a pic with him and pulled us aside for the photo opp. He was a bit harried and only said, "Hi" and, "Thanks for coming," but was very gracious.
And how cute is my friend's kid, by the way? :) Not that this is a great picture, but he's adorable.

The kid is cute. :) And so are you!
Hahaha, thanks, lady!
I am SO jealous. I've been wanting to taste his food after watching Top Chef Masters. *POUT*
@frisky: I know, I've loved him since Top Chef Masters too! Luckily I get to Chicago a fair amount these days due to work. I never knew what an incredible restaurant scene they have there--it seriously rivals San Francisco!
Not to rub it in, but Rick's food is a.ma.zing. And I don't even like Mexican food that much!
