Stephanie from two seasons back is from Chicago, as I recall. I don't know where she's working now, but that shouldn't be hard to find out.
Last I heard, she was working on opening her own restaurant (called, I think, Drunken Goat). It's not open yet, though, or at least not that I know of. |

Don't know Bordeaux from Beaujolais? Fear not: Chicago and its 'burbs are loaded with wine shops, wine bars and, yes, even wineries that favor a friendly approach with thoughtful, descriptive menus and guided tastings to bring out your inner oenophile.
Fear NOT--SPAM MAN will help you!! |

Well, for a spammer, he knows some big words.

I think the word oenophile should be struck from the human language. It looks like something that should land you in jail.

Unfortunately for the spammer, I am an unsophisticated type whose tastes run to ice tea and diet Pepsi, rather than to Beaujolais and Merlot.

Since when is pleasuring oneself a crime? Oh, I though your meant onanophile. |

I love Chicago but I haven't come there. I think you can search some websites to have information you want.
How can you love Chicago if you've never been there? I am so confused... |

And I have to ask, how could you love someplace you haven't been? Anyway, I'm finally off to Chicago today. My traveling companion was a little late getting back to me to firm up plans, so after all this, I'm not sure where we'll be able to eat on short notice. |

Well, having a partner would explain why the Hiding Place is overrun with kittens. |
