restaurant week, round 2

So excited for this year's restaurant week. I made reservations WAY in advance from my sad experience last year where some of the restaurant were already completely booked the week before the promotion went into effect. I think the restaurants that participated last year will turn things up a notch and I can't wait to see what they have to offer. My line up for this year:

Friday, 20th: Aja Steak (at the Dana Hotel)
Sunday, 22nd: Naha
Wednesday, 25th: Aigre Doux
Friday, 27th: Nomi (lunch)

Minus Aja Steak, I picked the other restaurants based value. I've been wanting to try Aja since they first opened so I can't wait to see what it's all about. I need to get to the gym if I'll be hitting up all these restaurants next week!

you must...

go watch "Rod Blagojavich Super Star" at Second City this instant! My friend is a student at SC and scored two tickets to the pre-opener this past Tuesday. First of all, the musical aspect of the show was fabulous and the performance kept us laughing. I think Rod B (played by Joey Bland) was totally upstaged by his wife Patti B (played by Lori McClain). I mean, it wouldn't be Patti B without all the profanity and vulgarity - you can't make this stuff up! Everytime Sen. Burris came out Patti and Rod would exclaim, "It's Roland, Burriss..." in a James Earl Jones like theatrical seriousness. My words fail...I can't event explain the hilarity.

Please go watch it!
