Any Chicago readers should make the trip up to Little Saigon for some authentic pho this winter. There are about a dozen different vietnamese restaurants right off the Argyle red line, most of which are fantastic. A big bowl of Pho is around $9 and they’re all BYOB, and you should definitely order some vietnamese coffee to go with it.
My favorites:
Nha Hang Viet Nam- small family vibe with amazing broth. The 8-year-old son is always either doing homework, playing on his Switch, or bringing out your water depending on the day of the week.
Pho 777- Every table has a printed out picture of Obama and Anthony Bourdain eating Banh Mi in Saigon. The picture is actually an ipad screenshot of a google search for “obama banh mi saigon” which for some reason makes it that much more charming. Great food too.
Tank Noodle- The biggest and most approachable vietnamese restaurant, while still being fairly authentic. You can make reservations, even for Friday nights with big groups. I’ve brought Mojito ingredients minus mint and lime which come as pho fixings and turned this into a pretty lit pregame.
I’ve been allergic to peanuts since I was ~10, Reeses are the peanut product I miss the most.
The Easter eggs are like candy that will get him the most. They look exactly like the malted-milk ball eggs and don’t often come individually wrapped and labeled. I’ve had many Easter egg hunts ruined by those stupid, delicious eggs.
You should probably get him tested for all other legumes as well- peas, soy, etc. I’ve got the whole lot. Also, you don’t have to be that crazy parent that thinks because their kid has a mild to moderate peanut allergy they can’t be around peanut products. Air-born allergies is incredibly rare and most of the “no peanut products at school lunch” rules are caused by uppity moms being over precautious.
I personally love couples costumes. It’s a good chance to flex my A&C skills and you’re guaranteed at least 150 IG likes.
Last year my wife and I were Steve and Blue from Blue’s Clues. I wore a green striped rugby shirt and khakis, while she wore a basic blue dress with some blue spots hot glued on. We made some ears out of felt and put some blue face paint on her nose.

One day I’m just going to say fuck it and add an inspirational bible verse in purple cursive to my email signature
This is right up there with “The heart only has a certain number of beats in it’s lifetime you’re wasting yours running”
Do you know what would make a great compliment to your freshly washed hands? A nice blast of lukewarm poop air.
What is turkey pot roast? Doesn’t pot roast imply beef?
Really don’t understand why more offices don’t just close between Christmas and New Years.
Which one did you go to in New Orleans?

Little Drummer Boy is the worst IMO
Best Christmas album discussion? A Charlie Brown Christmas is the GOAT for me
There are apparently people out there who are inhaling full hard-boiled eggs without any consideration to whether or not the shell has been removed.
Ligma balls lmao
I rarely eat sushi outside of business trips because of this. It takes ~$50 worth of sushi to fill me up.
Would have appreciated a spoiler tag, the movie just came out you don’t have to give away the ending.
More swinging stories, I can’t jerk off to this
Stalker tip- you can sometimes get the first and last name of an unknown contact by searching for friends using contacts on snapchat.
This is how I am now married to ‘Katie with the nce boobz’
Not seeing the problem here, this is a total power move.
Lakefront Brewery is a great time as well.
