For our June Authentic Ethnic Foodie Journey, Connie & I really pulled out all the stops.
STOP #1 – Dinkel’s Bakery
We found out that Dinkel’s Bakery had fresh pretzels & I 💗 big soft pretzels. Sadly they were not as good as expected. But the chocolate chip cookies, ginger snaps & carrot cupcakes were amazing. At least that’s what I am told. 😉

STOP #2 – Shawarma Inn
I have wanted to try this food ever since the Avengers went to “that new shwarma place” at the end of the 2012 movie. This food was so good.
Salad, Flat Bread, Lentil Soup & Navy Bean Soup 
Chicken & Beef Shwarma, Chicken Kabobs & Saffron Rice (plus some amazing sauces)
We have learned to take a hot/cold bag with us so that the leftovers don’t go bad.

STOP #3 – Wendella Architectural Tour
The weather couldn’t have been any better, the sun was shining & there was a slight breeze coming off of Lake Michigan.
Trump Tower 
Navy Pier 
Someone apparently tried to jump the wall… 
This lighthouse is no longer functional. 
Adler Planetarium 
Buckingham Fountain

STOP #4 – Jim’s Original
Remember the hot bag that we brought?We were able to make a quick stop for bone-in pork chop sandwiches to take home & they were still hot when we got home.

STOP #5 – Oberweis
We “needed” ice cream to finish out the day…right?!?

This looks like an amazing trip, Barbara! I love shawarma, however, my guys don’t. So, though I have a tasty recipe, I rarely make it. I may have chuckled a bit when I read about the Avenger’s reference. I remember that!
