Gilson's of Wilmette...go have a steak!

Steaks in Chicago are kind of like pizza in Chicago. There are so many places that do it right, if you're going to make an attempt, it better deliver. Gilson's of Wilmette did just that. I ordered the center-cut fillet which was served with a lemon horseradish herbed butter. Whoever said the herbed butter trend was out, was wrong. Take that Tom Colicchio! This steak was cooked to perfection, served with tender grilled asparagus and a lemon mushroom risotto.

Everything was great! My only complaint....they don't have a full bar. Other than that, I will definitely be going back and trying many other items.

Who's hungry?
 

Mrs. Fields....not just for cookies!

My challenge to locate the best blueberry muffin has been failing me miserably, so I decided to venture out beyond the expected. I know it may not be blueberry, but it is sure one I will do again. Mrs. Field's chocolate chip muffin. Deeeeelish!

Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Muffin-YUM!!

This muffin gets an A+ because of the crispy and flaky outside and moist buttery inside. Not a fan of muffins with caramelized sugar on top and as I've said before, sometimes simple is the best! What surprised me even more, their coffee was good too. I am still looking for a blueberry version of this, but for now, I will settle for chocolate. Duh.
