Eat With a Local in Chicago!

Have you ever wanted to experience and learn about a city by meeting and eating with a local at one of their favorite restaurants? Kind of like Anthony Bourdain when he travels, but without needing to be a famous chef with a full TV crew? I have, and that's exactly why I'm hosting this experience.

Meet me at one of my many favorite restaurants here in Chicago and I'll help you navigate the menu to make sure you get to eat some of the most delicious food Chicago has to offer. Over the course of the meal I'll give you some great insider tips on things to do while you're here in Chicago and help answer any questions you have. At the very least we can just talk about traveling.

Chicago is a city of neighborhoods each filled with amazing restaurants of all cuisines. I frequent the restaurants that focus on what matters - the food - while being very reasonably priced. Based on the cuisine you want or any food preferences you have, I'll have a go-to restaurant that we can meet at. Ranging from Chicago style pizza or street food to Moroccan tajines, authentic northern Thai food to Korean fried chicken, there's an amazing restaurant that you'll get to experience. If you don't have anything specific in mind I'll send you a list of two or three restaurants to choose from. Check out my blog to get a sense of the kind of food I like (www.neelbhat.com). Send me a message if you have any other questions!

Note: The price per person includes food (I'll make sure we have enough food for a filling meal). Drinks are not included.

Schedule: With enough notice I can be available any day for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
