Weekly Summary 1/20/2019

Highlights:

Lowlights:

  • Only 3 Workouts

For two weeks in a row, Sunday has been the best.  I took advantage of the extremely cold weather and was able to get a table and the breakfast spot called Batter and Berries.  I had tried to get a table at his place 3 times before and was always met with a 90 minute wait times and would always have to find another place to have brunch.

Since the weather was cold I was able to get a table as soon as I walked in.  This was a relief since I was really amped to try this place for quite some time and it did not disappoint!  I eat the same breakfast on the weekdays so I like to get French Toast on the weekends for brunch and breakfast.  I ordered the Super Flight of French Toast which had 5 flavors to sample.  Those flavors included Strawberry, Blueberry, Lemon, Carmel, and my favorite Peach Cobbler.  I will break down my whole experience in a restaurant review later this week.

Going to shoot for 4 workouts next week and stack it with more days of health-conscious meals.

Leghorn Chicken Restaurant Review

Leghorn Chicken

This review is of the River North Location @

600 N. Lasalle ST.

Chicago, IL 60654

(312) 944-4444

They have 2 locations in total FYI.

Price Range $12-$13 a person

This was a great lunch spot. Food tasted and looked great. My favorite part was the staff, they were so accommodating to me and my guests.  Plus, they even let me try their awesome Umami fries.

I built my own Chicken sandwich (a must.) My choices were:

  • Chicken breast
  • Not hot sauce * I’m a wuss when it comes to hot stuff*
  • Biscuit
  • Buttermilk Ranch Verde sauce

For a side, I got the Umami Fries, and to drink was Custom mixed Arnold Palmer.

The chicken was a thicker cut and fit underneath the Biscuit with just enough overhang.  It was a very good meat to biscuit ratio, that never made my mouth feel overly dry.  The fries were dusted with a bunch of spices that elevated the entire meal for me.  The fries did not need any ketchup at all, but I tried it anyway.  The fries definitely need any ketchup, but I suspect they made their own ketchup which tasted better than the standard ketchup you usually see on the table.

When I ordered my Ice tea and lemonade the cashier told me that was a good choice.  He went back to the fridge grabbed 2 larger liquid Tupperware containers, one with lemonade and the other with Ice Tea.  As he poured his custom blend you good tell this was good drink and oh my it was really good.

For a fast-casual restaurant, this is got to be in my top 3 favorites.
