    My wife's office is looking for ideas. Geography and cuisine are fairly open but limitations and parameters are as follows:

    * roughly $$ limit
    * not Asian
    * not too mainstream (e.g. Pizza, Midwestern)
    *geography can be south loop to west loop to as far up as Bucktown

    Under consideration are names as far flung as Balsan, Mexique, Ruxbin---though some of these approach the "too middle-of-the-road, midwestern," at least for some.
    I'm aware that there' s been some south-of-the-loop activity lately and I don't know much about it. Also west. Thinking others here may have a much better handle on what's new and interesting and can handle a group of 12. Looking at this Fri

    Prairie Fire sounds like a good fit. We're going there in a couple of weeks with a group around the same size. They've got a nice back room that you may be able to reserve.

    Mercadito and P.F. both great candidates. (I've even been to P.F. and didn't think of it.) Thanks.
