| barrelracr131 - 2014-03-11 9:56 AM I tend to shy away from chains if possible, but they are quite good at ruths Chris There soooo many choices in Chicago. I'm not up on all the latest fads but I can ask around. Be sure you get a deep dish pizza somewhere decent. UNOs is also good, but make sure you hit up the original. The chains suck!
If your going to Chicago to watch baseball, there are two spots you have to hit.
1) Cape Cod Room at the Drake. The bisque is awesome and oysters are huge. The bar is a piece of history with many old signatures including Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe.
2) Carson's Ribs. Ribs are good but the patte is awesome as well as all the sides. This as well as his sister restaurant Don & Charlies in Scottsdale were favorites of Harry Carey. Lots of baseball memorabilia. |

There are a lot people that I don't see on here anymore, wether they were guys or gals. I didn't always agree with what they said, but it would make you stop and think. Sometimes they made the threads really take off. This is what makes this place.
Yup I miss a lot of them too. It's not like it used to be around here.
We need some Cat pics so Komet comes out of the woodwork. |

She's thinking Oscar Meyer liverwurst. You and I are thinking Pate'. Forgive her. We can teach her if she wants to learn, and I am optimistic she has potential. I know this isn't pate', but this has conjured up fond memories of good foie gras. I haven't had any for so long. There's nothing quite like it. |

Excellent suggestions, professor! This makes me think an extra day in Chitown might me a worthwhile investment.
I'm with you on ballpark food. Hot dogs and brats. For some reason they always taste better at the ballpark. You can't duplicate the flavor and appeal at home. It has to be at the ballpark. Ahhh, I can smell it already. Combine that with the sight of the flag in center field and the manicured grass, as well as the sound of a jet passing overhead, the leather popping, the crack of the bat, and the roar of the crowd. |

TxBO we mustn't let these two fine ladies go on without some further training. I'm thinking a seminar is in order. LRQHS and Three 4 luck need to bring their men along. Undoubtedly they need an education as well. |

It does smell gross, especially when it's being made. Looks worse then dog food then too! My father likes to make it from scratch. As a kid when you saw the ingredients it meant either spend the weekend at a friends or lock yourself in your room with the windows open so you don't smell it. That and head cheese... I hated seeing the poor pigs heads on my counter.... and it didn't smell great or taste great either. IMO |
