Buffistas

I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Sue,

I really like Adobo Grill on N. Wells. They do tableside Guac that is a KEY feature of the place. Whenever we go to Chicago, we always go here.

Frontera Grill is supposed to be excellent, but we can't ever go because of the wait times.

If you book now, they can get to Rick Bayless other restaurant. We also haven't been able to make it there because of not being able to get a reservation.

They also might try Bayless' other restaurants: [link]

May I also recommend the Grand Lux restaurant. It is a little chain restauranty, but the portions are HUGE and whenever I go to Chicago, I feel like I have let go of all of my cash and the GL is decent food and doesn't make me feel like I have to take out a second loan to leave the city.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Grand Luxe is a chain -- sister to Cheesecake Factory.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

(And I didn't mean that to sound negative -- for one reason or another, I almost always end up at Cheesecake Factory when I'm out of town, even though there is one across the street from my house I never go to!)

I was also told to steer away from foods I liked/my regular diet because there was a pretty good chance that I would develop bad associations with at least some of the food I was eating during chemo.

I hadn't thought of that angle of things, that they want you to still like your favorite foods when all is said and done.

Jesse, I hear ya. Sometimes when traveling I try to get food I can't at home or go to local awesome restaurants...but half the time I end up at chains because it's easier and I know what I'll get.

My cousin once ate a brownie nearly the size of her head at that place! After a full lunch!

Sue, I'd also recommend The Gage on Michigan Avenue, which has the best burgers I've ever tasted and is within walking distance of the Art Institute.

It's also good for a group, including vegetarians, which a lot of restaurants that don't have a magazine-sized menu and platter-sized entrees aren't.
