Cheeseburger, cheeseburger. No Coke. Pepsi
Must-haves and wanna-try-to-gets when Mike and I fly to Chicago this fall:
Canfield’s soda – Swiss creme, in particular Jay’s potato chips Italian beef Bratwust, with onion & mustard only Horchata from El Burrito Loco Vienna Beef hot dog Aurelio’s pizza Steamboat’s gyros Pop’s (for Mike) Harold’s Chicken Frosty’s Willie’s Wee-Nee Wagon White Castle Tommy O Burger JMK Nippon
Undoubtedly, I am forgetting something and I will either remember later or Mike will chime in. Damn, that’s a lot of beef-related food items. I’m going to weigh 300 lbs. when I get back.
Somehow I need to arrange to be in Chicago at the same time as you and Mike at some point. I’ve been several times, but I’ve never really had a bonafide Chicago native tour/experience.
Whatcha doing the first week of October?
We’ll be up there plenty. It would be a blast to go around the city with you guys.
I landed here by googling Rusten Currie, a very good friend of mine. I happened to read this particular post and laughed. We lived in Chicago for 6 years and we were huge Chicago eaters, loved Harolds! My husband worked two buildings from one! Living in Cincinnati I would do anything for a burrito from El Burrito! If you go out to the burbs there anytime I highly suggest Culver’s famous for butter burgers and custard.
We may just make a weekend trip to see friends now that I am craving Chicago…
Cheers,
Tina
Damn! How could I forget Culvers and their glorious cheese curds? Mmmmm….cheese curds…
Thanks for stopping by, Tina.
say baby….you’re welcome to come to the bungalow in downers grove when you’re here…..we could maybe get inked then.

Sweet. Thanks for the invite.
I don’t think I will have the time or money to get my tattoo this trip, though. Plus, I’ve been promising myself I would wait until I was officially 30, so it’s gotta be at least next fall. This will come up faster than we realize, however.
