Daily Yummi: Waffles in South Loop

Waffles

My rating: B+
I wasn't too fond of the communal seating & their hot chocolate flights tasted like Swiss Miss.  But overall, their waffles were creative and delicious.

Daily Yummi: The Cheesecake Factory

One of my close girlfriends had a birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory last night (happy birthday, Kay!) and instead of ordering my usual Chicken Piccata, I opted for this yummy sandwich instead...

Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries

"Crispy coated chicken breast covered with melted cheese and chipotle mayo.  

Served on a brioche bun."

Not exactly spicy, but nevertheless, it was delicious!  Chicken was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside.  I'm not sure if sweet potato fries are on the menu, but you can always ask for them =]

Happy hump day!
