This weekend Billy, Ging, Josh, Tweeny, Elina, and Dan are in town because Josh and Billy are running the Chicago Marathon tomorrow. Today we had Italian Beef sandwiches at Mr. Beef, walked around Millennium Park, checked into the marathon and loaded up on carbs at Cafe Luciano.

    Harry & Chip Who?

    Harry Caray’s Restaurant, River North, Chicago When I first moved here I, of course, had heard of Harry Caray and knew how his name was pronounced. But I don’t think I ever noticed that extra “a” in his last…
