On a whim we called Chae Modern Korean tonight to leave a voicemail about getting back to us; we call them every day because we’ve been craving their food since we’ve had it. To our surprise, Hunter answered the phone and said that as of Wednesday, October 14th, at 11 am, Chae is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

Every few weeks over the summer, Chae Modern Korean hosted pop up dinners in their building on 23rd near Penn. On just such an evening, head Chef Taylor Desjarlais and his Justice League of culinary heroes (including Kevin Lee, executive sous chef at Vast) crafted an eight-course meal that was five-courses fancier than anything I’d ever eaten. 

Anyone remember what the Tower Theatre was like back in the day? We probably should have snagged these when they were sitting in the alley waiting for dumpster space, but instead just snapped a photo.

The new Farmer’s Market in Uptown 23 is growing faster than baby ducklings; ducklings you can pet at the Uptown 23 Farmer’s Market on the last Sunday of each month.

Hitting up a popular spot on the weekend is definitely awesome. What else is awesome? Hitting the same spot up on a Monday for lunch just because you want to. Which is exactly what we did at Guernsey Park in Uptown.
