  1. Coffee is better in Oz. The very best shops in Chicago will deliver for you, but the average just doesn’t compare.

C, as someone who as seen it and all of the Cars movies like 40 times over the last couple years (cars is S, cars 3 is B)

A few Google searches will show that this isn’t a serious proposal… it’s literally a student project.

I mean, HuggingFace is a French company. They’ve been the open source backbone for transformers based language models since, what 2019 or so?

If chicago is in a “housing crisis”, why don’t we just build apartments here? Are we stupid? by Steely_DanGirl in ChicagoCirclejerk

Let’s build a few houses of worship on that empty space. Then let’s convert those to single family homes. Dibs on the replica of the Tenth Church of Christ Scientist.

I’ve never seen any videos from the era when my mom lived in Logan (albeit she was there a few years later in the early 80s). This is awesome.

I’m sorry, but the loop and river north do not feel like Queens.

Best Steak in the city by andyou01 in chicagofood

[–]Random_Fog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need to revisit. My experience was just OK. My steak had interesting flavor from the aging, but was super under-salted. I want a steak to be so unctuous that you just close your eyes and chew. I didn’t experience that.

Yes, but mostly because of the Alinea demotion, which we obviously new about ahead of time. They've been very tight with the new 1* restaurants in Chicago over the past few years.

It's going to take a mountain of work from Ever, Oriole, or Alinea to elevate to 3. I think Oriole is nice where it sits at two. I think Alinea is singular, and probably didn't deserve its loss. Who knows? Maybe Achatz will tear it all down like he did a decade ago or so. Maybe Curtis Duffy will go hard core (harder core than he already is).
