where in chicago will you be? what kind of food to do you want? what is your price point? attire? large groups? solo?
I'm staying near the Loop. Any. Any. Casual. Solo.
get the kobe burger at rockit bar and grill on hubbard. when else are you going to pay $20 for a burger unless it's on the company dime?
This is not a menu item. Did you mean Angus?

The place loses points for homemade ketchup. Just buy Heinz.
The burger was top notch.

I tried the Sourdough Pancakes, bacon and hashbrowns. I didn't notice much of a taste difference with the sourdough. The hashbrowns looked like a big thratch of pubes, but tasted very good.

there was a place virtually right across the street from the little goat called JP Graziano's (an Italian deli). They have probably the best truly authentic Italian subs in Chicago. Spectacular.

This was probably the best meal of the trip. I had the filet, mac & cheese and Havana Dream desert. It was the best Mac & Cheese I've ever had. I was surprised an upscale place even had it. The desert was very good too.
