My brother is a superhero of sorts. By day, he is an emergency room doctor, by night he is a performing singer/songwriter/pianocian. Patrick Herek, check him out. Anyhow, his shows are generally at coffee houses or places with some good comfort-type foods, like his most recent show (in the area) at Buzz Cafe in Oak Park. The coffee house is in the art district of the city, which is reflected in the heavily decorated walls and chairs. It's hard to feel out of sorts in such a colorful place.
I tried two of the restaurants beverages while I listened to Pat and an Irish band play, a nonfat mocha and a jasmine tea from A Mighty Leaf, both mighty good.
I also opted to be a vegetarian with my half soup and half salad, the Veggie Deluxe sandwich and the Buzz Salad. It even came with a side of fruit - yum!
What a delicious and memorable evening! Don't forget to check out Patrick's page on Facebook and become his fan!

Hey, I know them! I'm so jealous that you get to hear them play as often as you do.
