Chicago Dining

My Winter BOW weekend was sandwiched on either side by time in Chicago. This allowed for several fun dining experiences.

Thursday evening we walked in the snow to a neighborhood eatery called Piazza Bella. Wonderful Italian food!! Thursday lunch was at Chipotle. I wish we had that chain in my neck of the woods.

Today we started off with breakfast at a fun diner called the Wishbone, known for its "southern reconstruction cooking". I had the best spinach & feta cheese omelet. Yum! The highlight at lunch was "saganaki", a flaming cheese appetizer in Greek Town at a place called Costas. Tonight we had personalized stir-fry at the Flat Top Grill, another place I could really get addicted to.

The picture here (which I hope posts since I haven't tried adding a photo to a mobile entry before) is of the Shedd Aquarium where we spent the morning.

Sorry, no Oprah sightings on this trip. Maybe next time.

Oprah, smoprah. Did you see my nephew Carl Gustafson? What? You didn't know he was there?

You gotta give me your travel itinerary in advance if you want me to make sure you have hosts in your various Extreme Adventure Woman outings!
