🏃‍♀️💨 If an Asian tells you its the best Asian food they've had in a while, you get up and go! We were surprised! Everything looked so simple, but the flavors were outstanding at @laohutong_il ! The Xiaolongbao (XLB) here was fantastic. Snag the combo so you have a chance to try each filling (the black truffle was soooo good!). But dont pass on these dishes... 🥒🌶 Hot and spicy cucumber was light and flavorful (perfect pallet cleanser) 🐂 Fu Chi Fei Pian- Beef tendon, tripe, and shank with cilantro and chili oil 🍜 Dan Dan Noodles- Traditional dish done perfectly! 📍Lao Hu Tong, 24 W Golf Rd, Schaumburg, Il taken in Schaumburg, Illinois by @biglittleescapes

🚗Just 2 hours from Chicago, you'll find @discoverwhitewater , that's earned the name "Second Salem" from it's spooky lore- a history of witches, hauntings, and a school that tried to connect with the spirit world. 👻While there are a few more local legends we didn't touch on here, the spots listed are all doable as a day trip from Chicago.  Besides the cemetery, they're all within a 10-15 minute walk from each other! 🧙‍♀️Believe in the tales?  Add the witch emoji to the comments, and be sure to follow 🌟 @biglittleescapes 🌟 for more family fun adventures! @walcowi @travelwisconsin #familytravel #halloweentour #wisconsin #wisconsincreator #chicagocreator , road trip, family vacation, things to do with kids, spooky Town, taken in Whitewater, Wisconsin by @biglittleescapes

🍜 Think you could finish a 15 pound teriyaki bowl??  It's called the MEGAMORI challenge, and you can give it your best shot at @teriyakichopper. Finish in 30 minutes, and its FREE and get your name on the wall of FAME! [Hosted] After a fire took them down earlier this year, they're back and better than ever with unique new menu items and Japanese classics. We were surprised by the amount of flavor packed in, and everything was cooked to order and super fresh! ❗️The dining area is cute, but very small, so plan on taking your order to go ❗️❗️Connected to @mitsuwa_marketplace !  So head in for a bit of shopping when you're done! 🔄 SHARE this with your favorite food buddy, and 🌟FOLLOW🌟 @biglittleescapes for more eats and activities in Chicagoland! 📍Teriyaki Chopper, 100 E Algonquin Rd #146, Arlington Heights, IL #thingstodoinchicago #newrestaurant #chicagocreator # taken in Arlington Heights, Illinois by @biglittleescapes
