I love Chicago. I hate the deep dish pizza - I ordered one full of hope that I was getting a culinary edumaction (I should add, I'm a fully trained chef, a saucier), and I was soooooooooooooooo disappointed. I left aboutr 2/3 of the one slice and had the rest packed up. I gave it to the first beggar I came across, and in Chicago, there are quite a few beggars.
Still, I have great memories of the ploace. Too bad they have a football team that I hate.
Ahhhh, emulsion sauces. I love them. Couple years ago, I ordered asparagas with hollandaise. The asparagas was perfect, but the hollandaise was "broken". Yes, you can "break" sauces.
I just do. I hate them. I hate them more than Bert Favre. I hate them more than the Vikings. I hate their players. I hate their management. I hate their fans. I hate their city, and their crappy deep dish pizza. I hate their roads. I hate their tolls. And I hate their jerseys.
Thanks for listening.

I hate those stinkin' bares too. They have the ugliest uniforms this side of Seattle. My sister married a guy from Chicago and they used to go to bare games with my hubby and me. She'd wear a Packer shirt and he'd be outnumbered 3-1. He got a lot of ribbing from other Packer fans but nothing serious. Unfortunately this was back in the 80s when the pandas were good and the Pack was not. The only game I remember us winning when he was with us is the Chester Marcol TD after a blocked FG.
Hate the bears and bears fans (when they are in the act of BEING bears fans). Otherwise, downtown Chicago was a cool place to work occasionally. Saying that I hated pizza would be blasphemous. I like Chicago style SO much more than the greasy cardboard NY style. There is bad Chicago style (sadly Uno's) and good Chicago style that comes from smaller shops. The best Chicago style I've had was actually in greektown, Detroit. I never really minded the traffic, especially now compared to DC. I think I've invested almost all of my hate for the Vikings and will have to resort to summoning up more based on the bitter rivalry. And the Eyesore by the Lakeshore? WTF? They had an obligation to respect the history of the game. They should have represented the architecture of the city and used stone and pillars and created a GREAT stadium. Instead, they failed the city and they failed football. And Urlacher is such a cheap shot artist. I would love to see him back on IR after this game. (Nothing LIFE threatening of course)

The trick is to fold the Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup gently into the Cheez Whiz with a spork.

all this chicago bashing...is there anything good about the city?! haha.
i'm flying to chicago this weekend for the MNF game and it'll be my first time to chicago. going with my friend (huge bears fan) and our girlfriends.

They have a really nice aquarium. The architecture of the buildings in downtown Chicago is nice too. Can't make any real reccomendations as far as food, but I can reccomend a restaurant: Ed Debevics, 640 N. Wells St. Fun place. The food is okay. It's the atmosphere I enjoy most. Very, very entertaining. Anyone with a witty sense of humor would have a blast there. I wish they hadn't closed the one in Milwaukee...
PR isn't allowing me to post URL's for some reason, when I try to the entire post disappears. But if you'd like to, google or wiki Ed Debevic's for a description.

appreciate any advice. thanks fellas.
Well, you obviously have to go to the "beach". The main road takes you right there and the shopping is incredible. Last time I was there they had the best steak houses I've ever come across, so plan to eat. A lot.
