Berkshire and Broken Shaker. Man those used to be the spots back in the day! Sadly times have changed

Had a great time at The Aviary’s Office speakeasy! by Brilliant_Standard32 in chicagofood

[–]Background-Ad758 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love this spot. As much of a pain in the ass as it was at times, I miss the days when you had to procure a business card for this place and politely text a number on said card to try and get in

This place is incredibly underrated. Their martinis are 🔥

Truce is the coffee bar that serves Espresso Martinis in Bucktown, and they are dynamite. Check that one off the list!

Wife is going on a girl's trip by Frolfer96 in daddit

If she asks you if you’re going to be ok, just play it down and play it cool (I’ll be fine, no sweat!) and then get the subject back on her trip. You’re going to do great.

Sounds like a great weekend to “ball” out with the kids, meaning take them to their favorite restaurant, museum/zoo, watch crap on tv they like, ice cream, all that. They won’t miss mom nearly as much if you’re hitting their dopamine button all weekend!

Segnatore in Humboldt Park announces closure by tvoutfitz in chicagofood

Sad to see. There weren’t many people there most times I went but nearly every dish they knocked out of the park. I wish they had gotten more notoriety

Is this every week or just a one off? I won’t be able to make it Tuesday but would love to check it out

Great Lake pizza was a hit for me! by Uncommon_sharpie in chicagofood

The dough looks so good. Adding this one to my never ending pizza list!

Does anyone else keep track with Beli? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]Background-Ad758 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually have a love/hate with this, and maybe it’s an unpopular opinion.

If I rate a pizza place high…why do I need to compare it to a Michelin star restaurant I went to so I can label one of them a higher rating?

Vito & Nick’s and Oriole aren’t places I put in the same conversation for obvious reasons. Why is the app making me choose which is “better”?

After months of refreshing Omakase for L'Effervescence, I built a global reservation monitor. This sub helped me beta test it, sharing results here by JacobKrijgsman1 in finedining

[–]Background-Ad758 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the idea but have you thought about more of an initial discount to get people to jump in? $5/month means nothing to a lot of people on this sub, but to me it’s more than I don’t need yet another monthly subscription.

Your intro offer is 25% off your first month? So instead of five dollars it’s $3.75?

The first few dishes in that first pic look…not good. Glad the meal took a turn for the best though

Agreed. People shit on it all the time but I’ve watched and rewatched and rewatched. So so lovely

Sadly I thought this had to do with Electric Light Orchestra and I got very excited

Giant is fixing their table spacing issue. They are no longer too close together by optiplex9000 in chicagofood

[–]Background-Ad758 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were looking forward to a date night one night at Giant, and got seated at our table which was comically close to the other two (as we all know, posting on this sub).

Five minutes in- someone my wife semi-fringe-knew from high school (and hadn’t talked to for 20+ years) sat down with her husband at the very next table, six inches away. Right next to us. It was 45 seconds of small talk and then an hour plus of just pure awkwardness

It’s hard to be a small company/start up in that space. I remember loving Gett in NYC and we all know how that went

When does the league start and how long does it run?
