commercially motivated Chicago blog... mmmchicago

http://www.mmmchicago.com/
i totally forgot about this place, until i saw a recent AMEX bill... thoughts? anyone know the contributors? i see chicagoist is linked on the blogrolls...

j3s of this site (and formerly of FCG) is one of the contributers to that blog. To her credit, I've always enjoyed her writing - the one detriment is that we tend to run in the same circles, so she's invariably writing about places that aren't new to me.

I don't know anyone else offhand that writes there, though.

Andrew Huff of gapersblock is the Andrew H. listed.

Dunno about the others

Although jesica d is jesica davis (aka j3s), I think. but I'm sure she'll confirm or deny or something.

Speaking of this amex campaign, was anyone else incredibly amused by their ads in TOC? "you'll never go back to wieners" and "foodie meccas (blue water grill, anyone?)". Made me want to vomit.

Yes, that's me. I don't think the site will be groundbreaking to most LTHers, and we are sometimes a little limited in what we can cover, but it's kind of nice to blog professionally. I personally find the the irony humorous, going from FCG to AmEx, but life's funny like that.

Suggestions are, of course, welcome.

This blogger has a few great comments about his life as a waiter.

Waiter Rant The story and comments about "Treasure" are pretty nice. They really demonstrate the impact one person can have on another.

Heh, Leah just posted about our Guess the Restaurant game.
