While I'm blogging about Chicago, let me point out an AMAZING place to get popcorn that's based out of Chicago. Garrett's Popcorn is legendary in the Windy City for good reason. It melts in your mouth. I tried Garrett's for the first time last winter and have ordered it twice online since. My favorite: the CheeseCorn (pictured left). You can't put it down once you've started snacking on it. There are several other flavors including Buttery and CaramelCrisp, but I'll probably never try them since I'm already addicted to the CheeseCorn. You can order a decorative tin of their popcorn online. It comes in several sizes from one gallon to 6.5 gallons. It's a great treat to help you get through these cold winter months.

If you're lucky enough to be in Chicago this Valentine's Day, you've got to try this heart-shaped pizza at Giordano's. Giordano's is known for their stuffed pizza in the windy city. It's incredible. They are serving up this special pie through Valentine's Day. You can get one shipped to you but act fast, you must order by tonight to get it in time for V-Day.
