FRESH SUSHI IN AN OLD TOWN // Kamehachi

Vegetarians and fellow pescatarians (for now) let's do this. The Real Housewife approved lemon vodka martini was good and strong. If you're almost thirty and have a career and (or) possibly a baby (yikes) you are no amateur to the post workday drinking game. You are seasoned enough to know that you want, no need, no you would kill for a retreat from your overworked brain by 5pm friday. So what gets our juices flowin' besides 50 shades? A cocktail that tastes decent, looks pretty and packs a punch. So yea that martini thang was tasty and not too shabby on the eyes (that other lemony drink at that glaze-crazed Italian spot downtown is still the best). The sushi however was a real delight. Let's be honest, Chicago is a lot of things but a fresh seafood destination ain't one of them. They got hotdogs, sausages and street feasts on lockdown, but sushi restaurants... Oh no no honey. Not the case here - fresh underwater treasures, delicate rice, just the right amount of spice and not a million dollars. Great I'm in. Everything tasted great and the atmosphere was relaxed but still felt upscale. Well done we will be back Kamehachi. If you care.

LIKE DRUNK HISTORY BUT WAY DUMBER // Piccolo Sodno Due

See y'all we are totally sticking to this blogging thang and letting our Twofatbrains fly. What really happened... Mrs. Fatbrain decided to cook over a hot steamin' stove for her flashy-excel-spreadsheet-lovin' husband (whata homemaker) while Ms. Fatbrain chose to throw all her (for the most part) hard-earned money down Piccolo Sogno's second drain and enjoy fancy cocktails and cute appetizers with her main squeeze - one Mr. non-fatbrain Minardi (he's classy and not obsessed with food, but he's a good egg). So y'all want the scoop? I totally forget what the food tasted like and it all went down like 5 seconds ago. All I know is the lemony cocktail is legit and you should totally get it, now, seriously go. Crisp, refreshing and full of good old fashioned strong booze, just like God and every Italian man intended. If you must eat something (they are pretty adamant on filling you up with various Italian delicacies) I'd suggest getting pretty much anything and covering it in their famous balsamic gaze. Seriously pop some on a napkin and go to town, who cares. 

DRINK // That "Piccolo" Lemon Drink

you WILL finger dance and be merry. You WILL smile all the way home, trust

SHARE // Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese Salad  

this is pretty good. like I said, cover it in the balsamic glaze for a total blissful situation. Some eggplant thing not on the menu is pretty stellar too 

FATBRAINS GOT TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES // Ground Control

Twofatbrains really dropped the PB filled malt ball after only two posts, so lame. We all know eating has happened, a lot. We've probably eaten out 17 times this month, but have been too preoccupied with searching for dresses that make our bods look hot to take some damn photos and post our fat thoughts. We needed a swift kick in the ass to get back on track, Ground Control to major fatbrains to the rescue. GC is cool. It's not fancy. It's not hipster. It's not trying too hard. It's just a regular person vegetarian joint in Logan Square. Weird artwork? We dig. Beer and wine selection? Rad. Grub? Just Ehh. We wouldn't say it was bad, but it didn't floor our asses. Our behinds were actually still pretty hungry so we ended up housing some skinny pop and acai berries later on. Whats up with these chocolate gems by the way? Are they good for you? Whats the story, lay it on us because we can't find it in Women's Health. Oh and those PB malt balls, you can get them in the scoop ya own candy section at Mariano's. Here's the complete lowdown.
