OY! TEAM
 | Sam and Erica Weisz, past contributing bloggers Sam and Erica Weisz were wed in 2009 and haven't looked back. Erica is excited to be teaching elementary school, where her passion is in creative writing and working with English language learners. Apart from practicing dentistry at Libertyville Dental Associates and Dental Salon in Chicago, Sam has tried to stay true to his Jewish roots, studying and attending classes.
Together Sam and Erica have a knack for finding the finest places to dine for under $20. Just ask and they will tell you about their food adventures in Chicago and beyond. Sam and Erica are excited to continue to learn and grow as a couple as they embark on another adventure to Uganda this Spring— in their long line of newlywed experiments.
