Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(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.

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.
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.
