"For less than the price of the famous mutton (mutton!), treat yourself to the chopped salad, three slabs of thick cut bacon and a glass of Bruichladdich 10yr. Dinner of champions."

"Make a reservation online - you get 15% off the monthly fee and half off the first month. Makes up for the in-town premium."

"Best selection of single barrel, unfiltered and short run ryes and bourbons anywhere."

"Heaven is the NYBS Bacon Cheddar Onion Dip. The only other ingredient is mayonnaise."

"Named for its location mid-way between IL's two busiest commerce hubs of the 19th c., Kankakee and Dekalb. Formerly a grandiose bus station, Midway International is Chicago's only functioning airport."

"Good pizza, esp. the New School Pepperoni. Friendly people. Perfect stopover on the way to the beach"
