What do fresh coffee, laundry detergent, dog food, and cute
shoes all have in common? I can buy them at Target. My love affair for the
Bullseye store is deep, like, way deep. I can go into that store for toothpaste
and a roll of tape and come out with four bags of items I didn’t even know I
needed.
Recently, Target has been doing a great job of getting
big name designers to create clothing collections that are fashionable and affordable.
I could buy a cute Missoni top or Jason Wu skirt and feel like a million bucks,
without actually spending a million bucks.
I feel like Graham Elliot and Target have a lot in common.
With his self-titled restaurant, Graham Elliot has left a
huge culinary imprint on Chicago and the world. The restaurant and its name
sake are racking up awards and accolades like nobody’s business. While dining
at Graham Elliot would undoubtedly be a revelation, I have yet to make it there. My dollars will only stretch so far.
