I really like the forum ^ If one enjoys going to places that are off the average diner's radar (for the most part) then for sure take a look, but I believe that the average diner does not really have an interest in going :( (I wish they would and perhaps lth can assist in spurring on someone to go).

Check out the reviews....a wild place! My parents hit it up last week and gave it good reviews as a once in a lifetime kinda thing.
Went here and *loved* it! Incredibly creative. Not something to do too often but an experience for sure. Cool/sleek interior too.

Favorite out of the norm spot
 
One of my favorite out of the norm spots is Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinders. About once a year or when guests come in that want something different, a stop at CPOG is in order. Truly a pizza pot pie bought by the pound with whole mushrooms. The salads are huge. Unfortunately, so are the lines. Waits are usually long and parking is a bear. But, every once in a while you have to bite the bullet.

Mmmmm! and you can feed for a week off the Grinders!

I used to live around the corner and blew off many good diets there...

After all these years, probably the most unique pizza experience anywhere and still unbeatable. Split one of those huge salads (the best poppy seed dressing anywhere) which will feed about four people, with the garlicky and buttery flat bread and that delicious pot pie and you will be stuffed and happy.

I love CPOG! It's been too long since I've been there.... Hmmmm, sounds like we need to do a dinner soon at CPOG?

Well, definitely during the week, since that place is an absolute zoo on the weekends (unless something has changed). I'm reasonably free during the week for the next three weeks.
