There are so many excellent restaurants in Chicago that we have a hard time choosing. Our most favorite place to eat is, however, at home and frequently with good friends at our table. I'm happy to have found your blog and look forward to returning.<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-50014573084543580012010-04-12T10:43:55.360-04:002010-04-12T10:43:55.360-04:00This was such a fun read, I was chuckling all alon...This was such a fun read, I was chuckling all along at your witting comments (loved the "these greens are local") !tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-60382658044430057052010-04-12T09:43:26.187-04:002010-04-12T09:43:26.187-04:00Going rogue when it comes to food is always exciti...Going rogue when it comes to food is always exciting.

It sounds like an epicurean feast was had by all. <br /><br />Diner's clubs have been luring unsuspecting gourmands to the darker side since the beginning of time.

Especially those that are open to last minute invitations to explore good restaurants. Those that somehow know you're there are even better.<br /><br />I find that foodies are very protective of their local restaurants much like sports fans are of their local team. No one, no where could ever have as good as they do. That is some greenhouse. Someone very resourceful came up with that one. <br /><br />The meatloaf with bacon is over the top. When we go out to restaurants, my husband does all of the ordering for us. If I want comfort food, such as meatloaf, they always assume it is for him. Funny, huh? Guess ladies are supposed to order fish. Have a great weekend.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-31627512678349272082010-04-11T07:48:13.060-04:002010-04-11T07:48:13.060-04:00Next time we're both in Chicago, I'd love ...Next time we're both in Chicago, I'd love to tag along!
