Possibly better than the way the Bears played last season. But I digress...)

We can question his phrasing but he states "the only place I could find that WASN'T a $400 2-bedroom villa was All Star Music" (emphasis added).

Okay, Wall-E says friend is from NC why would he want to eat BBQ in Chicago? What about good asian food? We all love chinese, japanese (traditional and sushi), korean, thai, and vietnamese. We've gone as a group to Chinatown. Any particular recommendations in Chicago that would fit with that? BTW: My dining recommendation re: Northern Indiana -- don't... Just don't. The best place we've found is American Pancake House in Mishawaka/South Bend -- fabulous omelets & they have dutch panekoeken (I think I spelled that correctly). Blossom |
