Cempazuchi - Restaurant # 9

On Tuesday of last week Susan went up to Milwaukee for a few days to catch up with some old friends. First on the list was lunch with Alex, who used to live in Athens, but has since moved to Sheboygan where her husband Rick has just landed a great new job. Alex drove down to Milwaukee from Sheboygan and Susan drove up from Chicago. They met at a great Oaxachan restaurant on East Brady Street called Cempazuchi. Susan had her favorite dish there, called De Cameron, really good shrimp tacos. It was great to catch up with Alex over lunch, and then tour her around the eastside and introduce her to many of our favorite spots. Hope to see her again soon -- maybe down here in Chicago next time!

Some might wonder whether a Milwaukee restaurant should be counted in the Chicago 10x40, especially when it's one that we've been to before. We say yes. After all Alex hadn't been there before and what is Milwaukee really, if not a (rather large) suburb of Chicago? lol.
