Just wanted to do a quick review and post about the great people and service at the Weston O’Hare in Chicago. I had a work conference there where I was attending as a vendor. My check in was 3 p.m., but my flight got in at 11 and I had a seminar to attend at … Read more
Recently on a business trip to Chicago, we went to a nearby restaurant – Carlucci’s Restaurant and Bar. An Italian joint, nestled inside an office building, it is a perfect combination of class and style. With wood burning ovens, lively car area and expansive patio (unfortunately was not yet open this day) appeared to be … Read more
Sorry, I just couldn’t come up with a clever title for this one. Omar and I took our Moms to Boodles for their famous Mother’s day Brunch. In all the years we have been together, our mom’s have never met so we felt it was time. I had been to Boodles a very long time … Read more

You may remember my previous Bastone Brewery Post (read here). We went for lunch during work, so I was unable to sample or review the beer. I finally was able to drag Omar to Royal Oak. Begrudgingly, he agreed to go to the “biggest pain in the butt city to park”. As I now work … Read more
So Omar and I had to kill some time while his daughter was at Lakeside Mall with her friends. Didn’t make a lot of sense to drive home and then drive all the way back. We decided to grab some dinner at the Sterling’s Bistro (in the Lakeside parking lot, next to the new Fuddruckers). … Read more
