If you're looking to make it soon, let me know. I might just type it out and email it to you for the time being. =D @Kelly - Sure!! I'll take any recommendation you give! =) @Becky – Yeah, that’s on my long to do list. If you’re looking to make it soon, let me know.

Joy Hsu and I used to go), Orange (for brunch... YUUUM), San Soo Gab San (Korean bbq open 23 hrs - order the family deal). dim sum in Chicago is eh, not even close to Dallas or Houston, and never had ramen there. be sure to order a local brew when you're there. I like Goose Island's 312 Urban Wheat Ale, if you're into that kind of thing. do you need non-food (i.e. cool places to see) suggestions?

I'm biased towards thin crust pizza though so you might still want to give it a go... it's pretty well reviewed if i remember correctly. btw, i like the new look around here. glad you're back on your own domain. oh and you still owe me a paella post! :D I’ve had deep dish stuffed pizza at Giordano’s (http://www.giordanos.com/) before but I didn’t think it was that great.
