I just got back from an amazing trip to Chicago with my improv troupe (The Immediate Gratification Players). It was the perfect way to relax after finals, see some great improv, and enjoy the company of good friends. Check out part of the crew preparing to brave the cold Chicago weather.

Over the next few days I’ll post some of our adventures. The first of which being Nookies, Too.

Graham (our amazing host on the right below) brought us to Nookies Too to grab brunch on the first morning of our trip. The menu had too much good stuff and to top it off every meal comes with a cup of chicken noodle soup.

The food arrives…

Brian’s turkey club.

I went with the Monte Carlo. Also to note are the french fries which were literally some of the best I have ever had hands down.

Of course you can’t have a true diner experience without a great cup of coffee.

On repeat…
