Had my first dim sum with some friends this morning in Chicago's Chinatown. I had to take pictures, it was such an amazing spread. One of the girls in the group knows the restaurant's owner, so we got to try pretty much everything on the menu. The glass in the center is a giant lazy susan that you can spin to get food on the opposite side. For those that aren't familiar, dim sum is basically Chinese appetizers like bbq pork in sweet buns, shrimp dumplings, bone marrow, chicken feet, fried tofu, tarrow filled with beef, pastries filled with chicken and mushroom, on and on, served in little containers for a few dollars a piece. It's eaten traditionally as brunch in China. Large groups are the best because you can get to try a lot of different things. I skipped the chicken feet.

It was probably one of the most incredible food experiences of my life. I haven't eaten in 12 hours I was so full when we left.
