I know someone that named his dog "Todd". Actually, that one was kind of funny.P.S. Bring sunscreen, chicago is f'ing HOT right now.As someone who just moved to Chicago from Phoenix, I find this amusing. It is hot for sure...but I'm smug about having lived through 115 degree days.

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Oh... Forgot who it was who mentioned it...But Mon Ami Gabi is decent... but there are FAR FAR Superior places to get french food in this city. It's a good reasonably priced alternative though. As is Bistro Margot on Wells in Old Town. But they aren't the super classy french places that you could get if you wanted. (Never been to one of those) Link to post Share on other sites

(linkin park, oak brook and vegas) and have only had the filet. I can't say how it compares to other french restaurants but it's as good of a steak i've ever had and very very reasonable.

You can get a Filet all over the place. So I wouldn't really say it's good for french food if you haven't actually had the french food. Link to post Share on other sites

Still very good though. Link to post Share on other sites
ROGUE06 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 If you want Chicago Stuffed pizza, go to Giandano's ( sp?!?) in down town chicago. Giordano's isn't the best pizza... it's up there, but not the best.Try Lou Malnatti's or Gino's East.Charlie Trotters is generally ranked at the top every year. It's in Lincoln Park.Probably 125-150 a plate here too. Changing menu as well. Never been though.But there are a lot of very good places. http://www.metromix.comIf you want to check a place out, search for it there. It's everything in Chicago basically.Giordano's is pretty good but I am pretty sick of it since there's a ton of them right by me. Lou Malnatti's has excellent beer crust pizza and Gino's East deep dish is the best pizza ever. Link to post Share on other sites
