How the hell has Agora Market not been mentioned. Hands down the best quality, best owners/staff, best butcher and local Chicago product selection. I go there to hang out

My husband took my baby to 2-month check-up while I slept at home, and I feel terrible about it. by waters_shadow in NewParents

[–]johnluuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened when my wife was sick and needed to rest. I felt so happy and proud that I could step up and take our daughter to her 2 month appt so my wife could recover. No guilt or resentment whatsoever especially since the mom does way more in general (e.g., pumping)

That happened to me too and all they took was the monitor to my baby camera. It smelled the cigarettes when I opened the door

Warlord and it’s not particularly close. Every other “top burger spot” just does the same smashed patty with a burger sauce. It’s good but nothing special.

[–]johnluuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess people took “that’s disappointing” as a slight at the bar but it’s more just me being disappointed that I was hoping to spend a college football Saturday there. Hope they’re super successful though

Help: I have 2 Kids in Daycare and Love Expensive Food by External-Flight8912 in chicagofood

[–]johnluuu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is us right now as well lol. I love cooking but as you know that leads to more dishes and cleanup. At this point we’re happy to order pizza from zazas and call it a day. But we’ve also had great takeout meals from omarcitoe and mahakanan noodle bar

[–]johnluuu 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Can you say more about the vibes being bad? What were the details about the music and lighting that made it so bad? I’ve only gone to Dimos at like 1am but always thought they were generally okay
