Homesick for Chicago

Yesterday afternoon, I caught a segment on the Travel & Living Channel featuring one of my favorite Chicago restaurants: Chicago Pizza and Ovengrinder at 2121 N Clark. They talked about the pizza pot pies, the ovengrinders, the wonderful sweet-sour poppy seed dressing, and the delicious Mediterranean bread. It would be worth a 24 hour journey just to swing by and have a meal...

Last night, we were invited to another Chicago institution: Morton's Steakhouse. Years ago, I had eaten at the original Morton's and remember the gigantic, mouthwatering steaks as well as incredible side dishes and desserts. We weren't disappointed in Singapore, either. A friend of mine went to Morton's here and dropped $800 for a party of three, so it's really a special occasion or business dinner place.
