My second celebrity sighting was Cate from Good For You! It turns out her sister is my sorority sister! Once I figured out the connection, I had to try and meet up with her! She had recently moved here to Chicago and has loved the city!
We met up at Sultan’s Market, which is really close to my apartment, but I’d never been! It’s a middle eastern restaurant with very authentic food, and other products that they sell. Honestly, I was a bit scared. I wasn’t sure if it was somewhere I could just walk in and pick up, or if it was a sit-down place… But I mentioned it to Cate and we decided to go!
We went to the Lincoln Park location, but their original location is in Wicker Park and, according to Cate, much larger. They are a family-owned restaurant that opened in Chicago past twelve years ago. I decided to get the falafel sandwich. I forgot to take a picture (per usual…) but it was absolutely delicious! I gobbled that thing right up!
Haha, mine didn’t look quite this pretty, or big, but you get the idea. Cate also got the falafel sandwich – she’d tried it before and loved it! I had a great time chatting with Cate. It was so nice to get to hang out with someone who has a lot of the same interests and we have a mutual friend/sister! Cate and I are hoping to meet up again to try out some other great places to eat around Chicago – I’m hoping to find a fun food tour, so look forward to that!
