Osteria Del Tempo Perso: Ostuni, Italy
When I travel abroad, I inevitably find one dish I fall head over heels in love with. Of course, I arrive back in the states and try my hardest to find a dish locally that emulates it. Realizing that it is an impossible task, I end up scrolling through pictures on my phone re-living that meal.
This past week was no different. Overcast rainy Nashville nights had me craving pasta.
Chicago’s coffee and pastry scene is on a roll, literally. From buttery croissants to flaky buns stuffed with all sorts of delicious surprises, this is one city that knows how to do breakfast ( and snack time) properly. Sure, you can still find your classic drip and a plain scone, if that’s your thing, but why settle for basic when you can have a longanisha stuffed croissant or a latte that is the epitome of balanced and silky smooth.
