    芝加哥 (1)

    在芝加哥连头带尾住了五天,要写的事很多,一下也写不完。我先占了坑,慢慢再填上吧。
     
    吃在芝加哥:
    因为参加凡凡的婚礼,8月7号去了芝加哥。我和PhiPhi早晨8点便从New Haven出发,折腾到芝加哥时间下午四点才到达courtyard marriott,因为赶火车赶飞机没时间吃饭,到了芝加哥已经是饥肠辘辘。早就听说芝加哥最有名的是stuffed pizza,于是我们放下行李便慕名来到一家在downtown的Giordano's Pizzeria。还没进门,就看见里面人山人海,旁边的一家颇有情调的法国餐馆却门可罗雀。但是为了品尝这"Chicago's World Famous Stuffed Pizza" (from Wikepedia),我们忍住咕咕叫的肚子,在门外淋着蒙蒙细雨排号等待。终于过了45分钟,叫到了号,又过了半小时,stuffed pizza摆上了桌子。可是才尝了第一口,我就明白这是多么错误的一个选择——这个所谓的shrimp stuffed pizza就是5厘米厚的pizza cheeze埋着几个无味的小虾。我们为了填饱肚子只能苦着脸咬了两口,就离开了。事后证明,stuffed pizza是我们在芝加哥最失败的选择。
     
    来芝加哥之前,我在网上做了功课,chinatown里似乎最有名气的是老四川,还有一个“红塔山野生菌食坊”。老四川我们这里也有,不足为奇;可是这个“野生菌食坊”我们可没有,而且这立马让我想起了在国内才能吃得到的美味真菌汤。于是凡凡的婚礼结束后,我们便冒着芝加哥的酷暑来到了chinatown。一打开菜单,首先看到的是酸辣汤,蛋花汤,然后是辣子鸡,鱼香肉丝... 蘑菇的影子都没有!我深深地感到又一次被伤害了感情...可是这次完全是我的错,不能断章取义啊,谁说“野生菌食坊”就一定卖蘑菇?人家的英文名字还叫"spring world"呢。因为天气实在太热,不想再劳神到处找东西吃,我们便在这没有空调的拥挤的饭店里汗流浃背地吃了饭。其实味道还不错,铁板牛肉尤其赞。
     
    最意想不到的美味其实是我们住的marriott楼下的state street bread company卖的早餐,在这里我们吃到了最美味的French toast,pan cake和waffle。虽然价格有些小贵,但是比起New Haven的两家brunch的店,在芝加哥的这个不知强多少倍。有不少在downtown上班的白领在这里吃早餐,然后再到旁边的starbucks买杯咖啡上班。估计很长时间我都不会去New Haven的那两家吃brunch了。
     
    芝加哥也许有很多很好吃的美味,可惜这次没有机会品尝,只能等到下次了。

    恩。人总是或多或少的有误解的时候。我对那个餐馆的理解是:红塔 山野 生菌 食坊。 红塔因该有特殊寓意。山野,表示菜谱的风格,比较大众。生菌,表示卫生环境不佳,这里菌指的是细菌,不是真菌。食坊,顾名思义,表示是一个餐馆。 所以,你没有看见蘑菇也是正常的。d

    I just came back from Mexico. Thanks a lot for coming to my wedding, and I'm soooo happy to meet you PhiPhi. Say hi to him please. Too bad that we didn't have time to catch up and all you see is my crazy busy wedding preparation and long wedding day. I hope you enjoyed it and welcome to Chicago again!
