weekend food fest

i cannot be more excited about where/what we're eating this weekend.

tomorrow, a trip to the eye doctor to get new glasses for both vic and me (thank you new work vision insurance plan) and then to miga 59 in the burbs which is this contemporary korean buffet (with korean bbq!) but all fancy. then afterwards to my parents' house to visit perkaloo and pick up my food order. heh heh heh. i asked my mom to make us noi mi fen, 2 salty and 2 sweet. :) if it would've been practical to transport sao bing, you taio and dou jiang, i would've requested it. a prelude to the goodies we'll get to eat in taiwan. mmm can't wait.

then sunday, i got us in!!! at table fifty-two. just look at this place's menu. http://www.tablefifty-two.com/. just look at this place's dessert options:
Art's Hummingbird Cake 8.5
Strawberry-Blueberry Buckle with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 8.5
Smith Family Twelve-Layer Chocolate Cake 9

there's no way we're not ordering all 3. there is just no way.

and look at this wonderful review on centerstage: http://www.centerstagechicago.com/restaurants/table-fifty-two.html!
chock full of wonderful nuggets like: "good-old fashioned, home-style Southern meal", "thirteen white-clothed tables dot this beautiful space", "you won't feel like moving after the feasts served here", "sample a wide array of soul food at the weekly 'Sunday Supper'... featuring 10 dishes like ... buttermilk fried chicken breast and three-cheese macaroni", "don't skip dessert", and "the Hummingbird Cake, featuring two pieces of pineapple, coconut and banana cake with vanilla ice cream, makes a perfect end to the meal."

ahhh!!!!
