rays_outside_800_small.jpgEaster is coming up, and if you are anywhere near Chicago, it might be worth a go at Ray’s Bucktown B&B. There are a surprising amount of bed and breakfast establishments in Chicago, and Ray’s in one of the more interesting. The specialty at Ray’s Bucktown B&B in Chicago is his red potatoes. The Chicago Tribune reports on these tasty treats:

One of his secret weapons? Ray’s roasted reds, easy-to-make baked red potatoes that have been marinated in an aromatic blend of garlic, olive oil and rosemary. Reiss began serving this house specialty at “everything from client parties to poker nights to Scrabble Sundays,” speaking of the gatherings he has hosted at his home, which morphed into the bed-and-breakfast in 2005. “The reds could sit on the table all night, get cold and still taste good.”

And if you are looking for a great Easter Brunch in Chicago come Sunday, it might not be a bad idea to enjoy a stay at Ray’s Bucktown B&B.
