Apparently Michelin's little elves go ... "Under cover of darkness Tuesday night, ... stealthily sprayed the image of Bibendum (the formal name of the Michelin Man, from a Latin phrase meaning, "Now, let's drink") on the sidewalks in front of 46 Chicago restaurants."
So of course, I had to run over and take a picture! Who knew that the Michelin Man had a name?
My all time favorite restaurant, Browntrout, uses sustainable foods and even grows their own herbs. And we were just there last Friday to celebrate my birthday!
La Creperie is a crepe place... of course! And, I celebrated my birthday on Thursday with a friend there. It is a bit of a no-no for me since ....well, crepe's are usually made of wheat. They do have a buckwheat option which is quite good and I usually do that. (at least it's gluten free and non-grain.)
The trifecta would have been complete if we had gone to Mixteco at any point last week...does it count that I talked about it on Saturday in Indiana? ;)
I'm just so happy that restaurants I love are getting recognized. I hope this doesn't mean that I won't be able to go there again because they will be too busy.
"Who knew that the Michelin Man had a name?" - I worked there for 6 years. I knew - and I would have told you the whole story about him if you'd have asked =)
