Default Got A Sweet Tooth?

Palmer House 17 E Monroe St, Chicago

If you're going to be in Chicago anytime soon stop by the Palmer House home of the Brownie! The first reference to the “brownie” in America appears in the Sears Roebuck Catalog published in Chicago in 1898. Specifically at the direction of Bertha Palmer to be served at the Columbian Exposition World's Fair in 1893, the brownie was created in the Palmer House Kitchen in the late 19th century.

The closest I've ever come to the Palmer House was standing across the street from it waiting for a Metro Bus, but now I'm thinking what a wonderful way to not only satisfy a sweet tooth but to sit and get to know someone!
