22 days in Chicago

Here's where we ate and the fast reviews:

Avec (twice): Fantastic as always
Morton's (twice): It's Morton's
Bacus Nibbles: Solid wine list, food kinda sucked
Prarie Grass Cafe (group event we hosted): Fantastic. (I turn my view 60 more degrees towards best restaurant in burbs that's not Vie)
Otom: Good, think they're going to continue to need to see more support to make it through the economy
Le Bouchon: God, how I miss French food in Bloomington, IN. (Le Petit Cafe is no more, nor was it good for about 5 years)
Gioco: Solid, menu continues to develop in a nice way.
Sixteen (twice): Nice work when you get to go to sixteen twice in one trip
Nomi (twice): see Sixteen review
Mirai Sushi: always solid
Mexico Uno: Far better than expected
Publican (twice): Awesome
Violet hour (twice): My favorite cocktail bar in the country
NYC Bagel Deli (twice): Best bagels I've had in a long while
Mint Juelp: OK, not fantastic
PF Chang's: I hate admitting it, but I really like this place for what it is.

I know I have more but need a break.

Reminder, this is a place in Bloomington, not Chicago. Last I was there, no hours, totally overgrown, unkept, rumors are that they quietly closed. I'll be back in Bloomington tomorrow and will take a drive by again.
