I’m heading up to Chicago for the long weekend on Thursday and was wondering if you have a restaurant recommendation to add to my fairly long list of restaurants to go check out. Keep in mind that it’s Taste of Chicago weekend, so any restaurant that’ll already be at taste will probably not merit a visit from me. Assuming room for only lunch and dinner (ha!), I’ll have 7 meals in Chicago. I have blocked off all Saturday for Taste so there goes 2 slots and also have made plans for 3 other slots. So that leaves a grand total of 2 slots open, I’m pretty sure I’m going to spend one of them on a nice Chicago Style deep dish place. So really that only leaves one spot open (lol). Fortunately, I’ll have fellow foodies Carol & Tiem showing me around as my accomplices, so I’m sure they’ll have good suggestions if all else fails.

Here’s what I got lined up so far:
avec
Hot Doug’s
Alinea

Here’re some ideas I have for the 1 (or possibly 2, if someone has awesome suggestions) that I want to do with the openings:
Chicago Style Pizza
Ramen
Dim Sum
Oh and as far as I know breakfast is all open too, if I’m crazy.

Either way, there’re only so much time and so much I can eat. I’d appreicate it if you leave me some suggestions in the comments section. Thanks in advance and fire away!!
