Guidebook for Chicago
Food Scene
Even though it is ALWAYS too much, I always get the sampler platter. It's ridiculous and there will be plenty of leftovers for you. They have live music on weekends so be sure to go then. It's always a party when someone is banging on those piano keys and plucking the heck out of those banjo strings.
