Did you grow up in the Chicago area?
"I grew up in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago."

Which neighborhood do you live in now and where do you like to hang out?
"I live in Lincoln Square/Ravenswood. It’s the cutest little neighborhood in the world. There are bars, festivals, restaurants, parks, and a movie theater all within walking distance from my house. It’s also a food mecca!"

"My go-to spots are as follows: Rockwell's for burgers and brunch; Fork for its outstanding small plates and dreamy sticky toffee pudding; Tiny Lounge for a Gin Sipper; Tank for amazing sushi; and Bistro Campagne — it has a great outside patio that is simply enchanting in the summer. I could go on but this is not an article about my obsession with food!"
