Perhaps if you are Lucky enough, you can convince Willie, to take you on one of his Personal "Foodie Sights, Sounds and Flavors of Chicago Tours.." Grit and Grime included

I have been on a Few of these Tours before, hands down the best dining and fun nights I ever had in Chicago (albiet all of them have been with Willie) the price can't be beat either..

Happy Eating and Safe Travels..

Wiki post with dinner info has been added to this thread.

Post dinner expect some of us (if not all) to move on over to the Green Mill, one of Chicago's jazz gems, to take in some great jazz & good drinks.

The Green Mill is awesome - however since it's on a Monday, I doubt I could go out there... I may try to make it out for dinner - please put me down as a maybe.
