This past week I got in a great whirlwind, three day, food, drinks and a travel adventure in Chicago with five friends. I grew up in Chicago but this trip still hit the entire package of food and bars even for someone from the area! From drinks all over downtown Chicago starting day one at a place called the SX Bar drinking champagne and chambord at the Essex hotel where we stayed to Navy pier deep dish pizza and much more this trip rocked it, literally. We ended with music; the Rolling Stones at Soldier Field, it was a great time. Day two was about starting off the morning at the Art Institute of Chicago. Plus taking in a classic Chicago dog at Wrigley field with an ice cold Old Style and seats behind home plate. I added in a walk along the lake in Grant park as well. We nailed the perfect night at Wrigley that ended with a nice beatdown of the Braves 8-3! Day Three was all about shaking off the fog of day two at Navy Pier with brews and a classic deep dish pizza and a brew that went down pretty slow. Followed by one of Al's italian beef sandwiches (dipped of course) downtown, before heading off to see the Rolling Stones. I'll close with a restaurant recommendation. When in Chicago this week besides eating the three main food groups (Deep dish pizza, Chicago dog and an Al's italian dipped sandwich) we hit this place on Michigan ave called The Gage. https://thegagechicago.com/
I had the venison burger and 6 of us shared duck poutine fries that were fantastic!!!! Add The Gage to you list of downtown Chi Town eateries. You may not make a Cubs game and Rolling Stones concert but for sure hit the museums, food, parks and drinks in this great American city!
