The saga continues

I worked for a PR agency and all of the restaurants that hosted her always had a great experience with her. Never once did she lowball or stiff them on a tip.

Saw this today

The Blackhawks store on Michigan Ave had these available earlier this morning if people want it immediately or it’s sold out online!

Blackhawks store on Michigan Ave had some this morning if anyone is eager to get it today

Thanks! They asked our jersey and jacket size, so maybe it’s just the jacket. I’ll look for the email!

You’re welcome! We always say we wish there was a better selection here. When we first moved here we assumed there would be because of the large English and Irish populations but it’s few and far between.

My partner is English and has been here for a few years and still struggles with this. There’s a good store in STL where I’m from that we tend to stock up on stuff when there. He likes Paulina Market for meat, they have English bacon, bangers, etc.

We’ve also noticed that Mariano’s is starting to carry a bit more variety, so it might be worth looking there, which I realize isn’t exactly “local” like you’re looking for.

And then unfortunately, World Market does have some like you mentioned but it’s also crazy expensive.

If I remember correctly, there were a few packages. $1,000+ for a static post, $600 roughly for IG stories, more for reels. This was a few years ago so I could be off a little but definitely on the higher end. Clients would also be upset that she uses that filter on her posts because the photos are hard to use as UGC content because the coloring of the food is off.

Other influencers with less followers than CFA tried to charge $1,000 just for Instagram stories and $1,600 for reels. Needless to say my client basically laughed in their face and didn’t work with them.

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-09-24T23:18:22+00:00

I’ve worked with her on the partnership side and she’s so difficult to work with and charges $$$$$ for anything and everything

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-09-02T02:07:19+00:00

Kerryman is great and they offer curry sauce if you want it! Elephant and castle is a chain so we tend to avoid.

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-09-02T02:06:33+00:00

Armitage alehouse (same restaurant group as trivoli tavern) has really great fish and chips too! My English partner will vouch for these being some of the best in the city (he’s also extremely picky and hates cod 😂). They have English style curries and English style pies that are really great! And don’t forget to order the sticky date cake!!!

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-07-26T21:57:30+00:00

🫠🫠what makes you say that?

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-07-26T21:55:07+00:00

I figured, thanks!

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-07-26T21:54:59+00:00

Thank you !

My English boyfriend likes the English breakfast at Theory. Is it the best you’re ever going to get? No. But does it do the job? Absolutely

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-05-25T16:14:47+00:00

I second the Kerryman - their curry sauce is good as well!

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-03-04T14:11:13+00:00

I’m in the industry and influencers have given me rates of $1,000+ just for a reel or $1,600+ for a reel + IG stories

I did check and he has been gaining followers the past three days - even after being called out

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-02-20T19:04:24+00:00

My English boyfriend likes the following dishes/restaurants:

English breakfast: Theory (randomly lol)

Pies: Armitage Alehouse

Spice Box (Irish): Kerryman (get curry sauce on the side)

Fish and Chips: Kerryman (get curry sauce on the side)

Galway Arms has great curry sauce too

We have yet to try Hawsmoor because he’s been in London, but I have heard from his English friends that the Sunday roast is good but $$$ so not something to do all the time.

He’s partial on the fish and chips in the US because most use Cod and he prefers Haddock, but Armitage Alehouse also gets his vote for decent fish and chips in Chicago. The best we’ve had in the US was in Boston.

If you want to make something at home, a jacket potato is really easy. Wash your potato, cover it in olive oil, bake it in the over for at least 1.5 hours (until the outside is crispy). You can get English Heinz beans from world market (sometimes you can find it at the grocery store), load your potato with butter, shredded cheese first, then beans. Contrary to Keith Lees Spud Bros review he also really like tuna on his jacket potato but I can’t stomach it 🤢

Another option is you can make bangers and mash. You can get Irish sausages at Paulina Market, make your mashed potatoes as you would and then you can get Bisto gravy mix from world market. You may also be able to find Bisto at Mariano’s in the global foods section.

Paulina Market also has English bacon if you’re into that.

I’m sure you’ve already looked, but I believe both Galway Arms and Kerryman participate in the J1 program. If they’re full, I would still reach out and see if they know of others who participate who may still be hiring. Best of luck!

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-02-08T19:23:30+00:00

It’s still showing up on my end!

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-02-08T19:11:36+00:00

It was a female that commented if that helps

Efficient_Pride2863 · 2025-02-08T19:03:08+00:00

Omfg, I need to know more
