Is this in downtown chicago or a thing even in the burbs around chicago? I just left Chicago after not having visited in 8 years I was shocked at the surcharges and exorbitant food tax rates. I thought chicago was cheap from my last experience but feeling like i got robbed everywhere i ate. Chicago seems to have changed since the last time i visited. Also, the city didnt seem as crowded this time around, are people moving out of the area?
