Has anyone ever been to Scylla? I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks and want to check it out.

I would appreciate any other Chicago suggestions you would like to share.

Thank you!

I’m looking for fresh beans, such as cranberry, lima or some variety of black-eyed or cow peas. Has anyone spotted beans at any of the local farmer's markets? A couple of years ago, one vendor at the Dupont market sold cranberry beans, but I haven’t been able to find any since.

Thanks for your help!

I went to the Pacific NW in April. In Portland, I had a fabulous meal at The Heathman. Went the Rogue brewpub, and fell in love with their Hefewiezen.

The Reef has $1 off all drinks for happy hour and some great food specials throughout the week.

Tue: 1/2 price bison burgers

Wed: 1/2 price wine, with the purchase of one entrée

Thur: 1/2 price mussels

Just so you know, I’m the pastry chef at The Reef, but I’m not attempting to promote myself with this posting. I simply think the burger, wine and mussel specials are good ones, that aren’t widely known.
