When we asked one of our Park Ridge Insiders, Jess When we asked one of our Park Ridge Insiders, Jesse Brady, for the best meal she's had recently, she couldn't name just one. Or three. And that's OK. 

"I could never pick just one! How about a few? The carbonara in a jar at @ziassocial — creamy, decadent, delicious. And the perfect meal to celebrate pre-school graduation. The chicken caprese at @fireandwinege — an unexpected trip to flavortown for date night. The acai bowl at @bonitabowl — a great option for something light and fresh on the go after a workout. The grilled calamari salad at @nonnasilvias — my first time having grilled calamari, and I’ll definitely have it again. The Rosso Diavolo pizza at @fornorosso on Harlem — perfect for sharing during a girls’ night when you want to try a piece but not have the whole pizza. And of course, the creme brûlée dessert is a staple order from @thecapitalgrille for special occasions."
