What are you giving up for Lent? Christen Nehmer, videographer for The Food Channel, is giving us her experience in going meatless. Follow along throughout the 40 days of Lent.

Day 39:

I’m not one to eat fast food breakfast unless I’m either traveling or just really craving it, but today I was really craving a McMuffin. So that’s where I started.

However, today’s food experience isn’t based around how delicious my McMuffin was or how tasty my cold, leftover pizza was…it’s about dinner. I went out to eat with some girls I work with and we ate at this place called Grad School. I was told how amazing this place was. I was a little skeptical; I won’t lie. This place is definitely an oyster (not attractive on the outside, but a true gem inside). Anyway.

Grad School only seats 45 people plus a few patio seats. We sat at a large table in the back next to some other people. I glanced over at what they were eating and the French fries looked incredible.
One of the girls I was with, Tiffany, leaned over to this girl and asked if she could have a fry. This girl looked shocked and just weirded out. We all laughed. It was pretty funny.

But yes, the fries were amazing and so were the tilapia tacos I ordered. I will definitely be going back there. I like to support local business, when it’s good.

Breakfast: Egg McMuffin minus the Canadian bacon
Lunch: Leftover pizza from Old Chicago
Dinner: Fish Tacos from Grad School
