Once upon a time at The Food Barn

Champagne at The Food Barn

Chicago’s Queen of Cool Marries The King of Cartoon, and live happily ever after.
If you’ve read my Food Barn-Inspired Mushroom Pasta recipe, you will have noted the awe-struck, dreamy-eyed tone in my voice, as is only fitting when speaking of the culinary creme de la creme of the Noordhoek valley (and, arguably, the country for that matter). And so what could have been more perfect than our friends Kate and Mark choosing to have their wedding reception there? Possibly nothing on earth. Which is why I nearly fainted with delight when we got the invite.
