    Chicago: Restaurants

    Two of my favorite places to eat in Chicago are Gino's Pizza and The Capital Grill.

    My buddy D.W. Cole first took me to Gino's back in about 1991. Downtown, across from the offices of the Archdiocese, up a set of stairs you entered a noisy place where every inch of wall was covered with graffiti---mostly people's names. Since then, everytime I have guests in Chicago I make sure I take them to Gino's.

    Now, grab your pocketbook for this one. The Capital Grill in Chicago. Whoo Baby! Now that's a steak! The taste is only exceeded by the price. It's worth it! But just be prepared for the price. This is one that you want to save for a special occasion.
