Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

Croissant bánh mì at Haibayô Café

The best culinary discoveries often remind me how refreshing it is to wander off the beaten path. 

Haibayô Café’s croissant bánh mì gives you the heat and pickled veg of a classic bánh mì but subs out the Vietnamese baguette for another French-style bread: the croissant. The sandwich will not only win you over—it’ll stand out among the many regional offerings in Uptown’s Asia on Argyle.
