Chicago: Round up #1 Eating our way through the city.

Food.

After great recommendations here is where we ate in Chicago. The special occasion? You're Mom only celebrates her 70th Birthday once!  Our first stop was El Che. Because meat, a wall of fire, and a pretty amazing bathroom. From the site: "El Che Bar exudes the contemporary rhythms of Buenos Aires through a local lens, evoking inviting vibes with sultry and subtle nods to South American culture. [...] The expansive hearth serves up classic wood-fired Al Asador. Locally sourced vegetables, grilled meats, and seafood are cooked on custom-built grills and chapas." We met the Chef John Manion, he was generous with champagne, a great bar recommendation, and a cute pic with Mom. 

The Pelican was another favorite place! Because meat. Again.
