@andysfrnds on why he chose the Cheesy Chilli BBq Chicken Meal from Jean's Chilli Chicken at @eastwoodhotelaus : - “Jeans Chilli Chicken has been filling the bellies and searing the mouths of Eastwood locals for years. What makes this shared meal so special is the sheer joy it brings, from its off the charts Scoville rating, to the additional ritual of chopping it with rice and moulding it into bite size balls – best fed to each other by hand of course.” - Check out the full illustration on our website 🌐

As some of you know my husband @rarrettgussell and I are leaving Chicago to start a new adventure in Hawaii and won’t be returning to @barkumiko . As my experiences have brought me to this wonderful point in my life they have also taken a toll on my mental and physical states which I have recognized it’s time to do something about. I’m very grateful for the people that have taught me, supported me, loved me, and helped me navigate this journey. You know who you are and I love you so much! But I have now truly chosen my peace over my passion and will continue to do the things that I love but in my own way. Following a path with my health, heart, and happiness in the forefront of my life. I’m so excited about my future and where it will lead, especially because I made history in September and I want to help others realize their worth and be able to have the confidence and care to follow their dreams no matter what, just as I did! I hope you will continue to follow my story bc this is just the beginning!!!
