Bobby’s and the highwood restaurants have always had nice outdoor dining for the summer. I don’t know why Prairie Grass, which is probably REALLY near you, doesn’t have outdoor dining (like their sister restaurant) considering that gigantic parking lot!

i really love driving in that area overall when I’d have a rental convertible. Either stay at embassy suites across from hyatt Deerfield or we rent a house. Now I’ve no idea when we’ll return - the fact that normal people on FlyerTalk aren’t flying totally screams much. So I know this region really well and I’m not stalking when I mention names and places out there. Plus being where the John Hughes movies and Ordinary People all occurred... just so priceless and essential, especially now.

i annoyed the boss at the egg place by Demetra’s because I asked about all the celebrity pictures. He’s in all of them and I had to know how he got to be photographed with such royalty.
