Anyone have babysitter recommendations?

Bump.

You can order from Milt's using the Postmates app to downtown. Cheapest option delivery wise. Other places will charge an arm and a leg.

Lemme try.

Pretty soon it will be "Yay Milt's"!!!

Thanks for tip, ordered today,  works.

Got brisket sandwich and baked beans.

Brisket sandwich not nearly as good as izzys.

Beans are best thing from milts so far

No problem, glad it worked out. IMHO, the burger done "Milt's Way" (i.e., with chili, brisket, crispy onions, beef fry and aioli on top) is the best thing on the menu. Brisket sandwich is also good, but a liberal amount of the various bbq sauces is key to it.

Hi guys,

Going to be in Chicago for a day, which one should I rather dine for dinner.. Shallots or Milt's?

Also, any recommendations for a quick lunch in downtown Chicago?

Thanks!

I’ve heard ppl saying really good things about high life. Apparently they are trying to copy shallots and stole some of their staff. Supposedly it’s hard to get a table without a reservation

Interesting. Heard this last week and just thought it couldn't be true. Does anyone have any more details? Reviews?

IME the only thing they stole is the below par customer service...

Has anyone applied for Global Entry at ORD? What was the experience like? Are they nice or obnoxious?

Am I the only one who makes Illinois nut a mandatory stop every time I'm in Chicago?

Yes. A little rough on the edges but quick and smooth.

I think I've been there 3 times in my life and I'm native to this city. Not sure why I'm not there more often. Pricey, but lots of good stuff.

[ethana]

food at hy life is definitely better than in the past. no issues with tables though. all the appetizers are very good.

Nice as pie for 7 out of 9. The other two were given the fifth degree.

Not a rumor. It's true. Would love to actually. But would probably need larger pants.
