Our concierge says..."I was stunned with the Old Fashioned in the Rocks. The presentation of the drink in an ice egg was amazing."

The sausage here is one of my favorite foods in Chicago.

I am a big fan of coffee ice cream. A scoop of that with Margie's hot fudge is great.

Pumpkin pancakes, please.

breakfast heaven

My wife and I stop here whenever we're in Chicago. It's a fun neighborhood place. I like the vibe.

A fun bar with great burgers. Au Cheval means you can get anything on the menu with a fried egg.

The ham chop is one of the best, if not the best, pork dish in America.

I am constantly amazed by the level of cookery.

A carrot cake presented almost like an ice cream sandwich. The cake itself is flavorful. I could eat a bowl of the cream cheese goodness in the middle and the strawberry Pinot sauce is divine.

pricey and unique.

been to Topolobampo and it was outstanding. I had 3 house margaritas and had a hard time getting up from the table, their sweet and sour mix is unreal.

Rick Bayless is a master

The hot chocolate is killer.

Do yourself a favor and order the rib tips.

I had a freeze-dried pea soup at Alinea that was incredible. The flavor was like diving into a pea pod.
