I fly out Friday morning for Chicago. This time I will be around until the following Friday.
From Friday through Monday, I will be in Kankakee. From Monday through Friday I will be in Aurora and working in DeKalb.
I remember all the great spots I was directed to last time, so I am looking forward to returning.....Geno's, Malnatis, Palermos, on and on and on.
If anyone in the area wants to meet up, let me know. No Blackhawks game this time around.

Went to Ballydoyle's a couple of months ago. Pretty good. Didn't catch any live music though. |

I got Mike into Gino's last time he was here, and we went to a Blackhawks game. A good time was had, for sure.
Incidentally, Mike is as tall as me and built like a lineman. I think the three of us should form the most physically intimidating band ever.

Tomorrow I am going to try Giordano's pizza. I'll see how it compares to Malnati's and Gino's.

-Mike | Portillo's = The SERIOUS win! 
When you go there try a "Combination." (A sandwich with both Italian Sausage AND Italian Beef.) Heaven on a plate!
Instead of Giordanos, try to get to Connie's Pizza. (or maybe Home Run Inn or Beggars) Whatever you do, go for the THIN CRUST pizza!
