Sepia offers both lunch and dinner in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Their wine program has received numerous accolades on the national level and the restaurant has received a one-star Michelin rating each consecutive year since 2011. The menu is product-driven, focusing on seasonal produce by local artisan farmers. Pasta, jams, chutneys and charcuterie are made in-house.

Instagram Stories

I am currently addicted to Instagram Stories. I like viewing a person’s day all at one time and that the posts are more candid and relaxed. I am always trying to think of new and fun ways to post and experiment in my Stories. After my lunch at Sepia, I color-coded the words by matching them to the color of the ingredients.
