Chicago: Land of Heavenly Meals


After just returning from my 3rd or 4th trip to Chicago, I have noticed one or two things. The most important of these being that this city has the best food I have ever had the opportunity of eating. I mean every corner you turn down there are just tons of great places to eat and I'll tell you what- no one likes to eat as much as I do (and my stomach can attest to that after this weekend). But seriously, we went to this fantastic place for lunch called Lux Bar and drank our faces off to some heavenly mojitos and bloody maries; neither of which seemed like a great idea when we went out later on that same day...but it sure was fun at the time.

So this brief post is simply dedicated to all of the fantastic restaurants that make up this city. Over the weekend I visited Harry Carey's- which is right outside of Wrigley Field. FYI- it has been my dream to go to Wrigley Field and even though I still haven't gotten inside- I have to say that the stadium itself is worth taking a look at- even from the outside. Anyway- this place: FANTASTIC burgers. In fact, they had one of my favorites- a Burger Bar. This is where you have the opportunity to select every aspect of your burger. Brilliant. And Blue Moon for only $3.50!! Can't beat that!

And finally, we had a lovely birthday dinner at Coast. Not only was the sushi here delicious- but the service was absolutely stellar as well. And...to top it off..this was the scene of what will go down as the greatest birthday cake of all time. For that, I would like to give a huge shout out to Bill- Victoria's husband. You done good.

If anyone has the opportunity to visit Chicago- I highly recommend all of these places- in addition to any other place you might come across while on your way through the lovely city.

Good night!
