Yeah, Dan, I've been checking out the Open Table list. That's where most of the fancy restaurant buffets are. David Burke's is doing a decent looking sit down meal, so I was thinking about that one until I started looking more thoroughly. I LOLed to myself at the thought of taking my family out to Beef & Brandy for Thanksgiving.
L&E is very promising.
― carl agatha, Monday, 22 October 2012 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
I might steal their menu -- I feel too lazy to think of my own and it sounds SO GOOD.

FWIW, we made a bourbon and orange cranberry sauce last year, and it was awesome.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 22 October 2012 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
usually i just do orange cranberry, but bourbon is sounding awfully good with those two things (although generally i don't like hot booze)

Guys I made up a little song about my lunchtime errands, to the tune of Wanted Dead or Alive:
I had a lot of errandsand I ran them all!
Also I've had occasion to need to contact my prior employer to get my pension rolled over and I had almost forgotten how fundamentally incompetent they are at every level, but I have been duly reminded.

Heading to Everest for dinner tonight. Should have a great view of ... nothing.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
Oh bummer. Well, the view won't distract you from the food? Also I've been in the Hancock when it's crazy foggy and it's not an axing view but there's something really neat and surreal about the fog.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link
Hancock has the best view in the city, because you get to see all the planes circling over the lake.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 21:13 (eleven years ago) link
Axing = amazing, somehow.
Best view IMO is the women's bathroom in the Signature Room. But tbf I've never been up to the terror platform in the Sears Tower.

Don't know if you guys ever walked by this guy's store, but he had major anti-Daley stuff in his window for a while, and other anti-Machine stuff--familiar used-bookstore personality--and now he's made the Drudge Report:

pass this store all the time - dude didn't seem so much racist as just generally crazy and weird? his bugbear for a long time was daley's parking meter deal which was a more worthwhile concern imo

Is this shop near that used bookstore that is just full of precarious piles of books, and the proprietor counts change out of a little dish?

Citing the ethnicity of your significant other as a reason why you can't be racist is nagl. Also makes you look pretty racist.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 24 October 2012 15:26 (eleven years ago) link
this guy's a weirdo and probably a creep but i'm honestly not sure where the racism is in the two signs cited in the article?
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 15:29 (eleven years ago) link
also lipstick on glass is pretty weak "vandalism"
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know about the signs. I'm just saying that such a denial rarely comes from someone who isn't racist.

xpost Sun came out right as the fourth elevator of the night opened up to Everest! We got to see a beautiful sunset and a distant storm front that made it seem like Chicago was circled by a low mountain ridge.
