The better-half and I are thinking seriously about going to Chicago in mid/late May. What suggestions do you have? We like to eat (as you know) and we like interesting/off-beat things (as you probably also know). I’m thinking at this point it will be a long weekend. We’re hoping to be in Chicago in time to taste Hot Doug’s duck fat fries. What else should we do? Where should we stay (hotel or area or both)?
Speaking of duck, I had a portion of cassoulet at Rustica last night. Divine.
woo-woo… I watched some Food Network thing about Hot Doug a couple of weeks ago.
I wish I could help. All I know about Chicago is that if you don’t run really fast through the airport, you’ll miss your connecting flight.
The airport is as much time as I’ve spent in Chicago. The better-half did some consulting projects there several years ago so he knows about high-end steak houses and how to get to that client site but little else.
