Author: Rebecca Bretana
Rebecca is a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago and majored in English Lit. She is very involved with her multi-cultural family made up of Cubans, Mexicans, and Europeans. Eating good food and drinking great beer in Chicago and throughout the Midwest are among her passions (weekend brewery visits to Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan are not infrequent). Discovering fun and interesting eateries that the ‘burbs have to offer are among her hobbies. Rebecca collects books, hand-me-down jewelry from great-aunts and grandmothers (yeah, even they don’t want them anymore), recipes, and useless information.
