FOOD: The Purple Pig Chicago

So, I was really excited to eat in Chicago. Of course. 
The Purple Pig was the most memorable meal during our whole trip. I wish we got to try everything on the menu. Just looking at my photos makes me drool. 

The next time I'm in Chicago, I will definitely go back there again.
Hoping I get to try the roasted bone marrow smear.
