Have you ever passed a restaurant and done a double take? You ask yourself “Is that new?” You look again and say “I’ve got to put this on my list of places to go.” This is how I felt the first time I drove by Fat Rosie’s, Taco & Tequila Bar at 870 N. Meacham, Schaumburg. I’m not sure …

Kuma’s Corner: Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week Preview 2020
How do you like your burger? I mean, how do you REALLY like it? If you were given a wish list of ingredients to eat on your burger, what would you pick? Do you love cheese? Or only a specific cheese like bleu, cheddar or Swiss? Loaded with bacon? Maybe some caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms? A little mayo? Or maybe something …
First Preview of Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week 2020
The temperature drops. The wind picks up. There is a flake or two in the air. This can only mean a couple of things. First, it is wintertime in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs so we pretty much expect this to happen. Second, we all need a pick me up to get us through to spring. Finally, it is time for Felt …
Time for a Bowl that Tastes Creole
Food magazines and food based television really have a hard job. One would think that getting to spend your life devouring plates of food, traveling to exotic places and hob knobbing with the best chefs in the world would be the best job in the world. (And it would….call me if anyone is interested in a middle …
Keeping Abreast of Chicken Cutlets
Cutlets. Do you love or hate them? Does the sight of them make you smile? Do you dream of one day getting your hands on one? Have you never heard of them?

Celebrating Betty Crocker and Nachos
Betty Crocker. It seems like every mom had a cookbook with that iconic name splayed across the cover. The one I remember the most is the red one with all the food pictures on the cover. It was simply Betty Crocker’s Cookbook. (I asked Mom to send me a picture and she had her original and a newer version.) …

If there was a “Hippocratic Oath” for blogging, I sometimes wonder what it would be. Are there blogging ethics I should worry about? Do I think I am doing Felt Like a Foodie justice? Are there rules we all should follow? It popped into my head on my walk today when I was thinking of the recipe …
Drug of Choice
New. It is funny how the turning of a calendar page turns everything new. People have new goals, hairstyles and diet plans. There are new sales, bargains and opportunities everywhere. We even clean out drawers, closets and basements just to celebrate the start of something new. I can get behind fresh starts and new beginnings with the exception of …
Game Shows, Bad Sounds and New Goals
Do you ever watch game shows? Every show has its own distinct sound effect for when the contestant does the wrong action. It can be the buzzer on Jeopardy when none of the contestants know an answer or maybe it is some whacky trombone noise when someone overbids on the Price is Right. There are a ton of …
Oh Sheet (Pan)! I Haven’t Written in Awhile
Every now and then I need to take a break from writing Felt Like a Foodie not because I have nothing to write about….it is quite the opposite. There is so much going on in the world that words flow from my fingers…and then I press delete. One of my biggest goals in writing this blog …
