So, it looks like Tom and I will be in the Chicago area over a long weekend - November 9-12
hmmmm
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wheeeeee! Chicago! So excited. Made some reservations, doing research.
Nora, brenda and I had an amazing meal at Moto. The best meal I've ever had, really.

Moto looks amazing but I am pretty sure I am not going to get Tom to a Michelin star restaurant on this trip, especially one that is based on 16 courses of molecular gastronomy. It's all Coi's fault. Also mine, I blew my Michelin star gasket in Northern CA in 2009.

also, am I correct in assuming that you cannot just go and hang out at Aviary like a normal bar and you have to make a reservation for a cocktail tasting?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Your hotel isn't far from Alinea, but reservations are probably booked several months in advance.
Any thoughts on preferred deep dish pizza?
Gino's East. Giordano's is good, too.

Yeah, Alinea is not happening, either. See: French Laundry in 2009, not having a repeat of that level anytime soon.
Just want fun places with great food, good vibes, and delicious beers, this time out. However, if the NOLA-Chicago train ride works out, maybe we might come up more frequently!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Gino's East or Lou Malnati's. Pizano's for thin crust.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Gosh I wish Chicago weren't so far....

Lou Malnati's and Gino East are indeed tops on my list so far. But I've heard the rest listed here in my research do far as well.
