Food Bills

Everybody has to eat, and more often than not, we like to eat out. Most of us aren't foodies or culinary experts, We just like good food at a decent price.

This blog is all about eating out in Chicago, generally not at the trendy places, the hoi polloi fancy spots or the big chains.

I'm definitely not a foodie, just a hard working guy that likes good food and I'm going to share my dining experiences with you. Hopefully it will give you the food layperson's view on Chicago spots. To keep your food bills in check.

I will also Include some “food news” about places located in my “hood” up on the Far North Side of Chicago and Evanston.

I do travel a lot as well, so I will also include a little page with some food notes from my travels!

Metropolitan Club of Chicago

Afterwork Afterglow

Recently I became a member of the Metropolitan Club in Chicago.  So far, my experience has been really positive. 

My membership includes my breakfasts and lunches, my gym membership and the use of the space.  After work on Friday is the best, to unwind, relax with a $1 wine (first glass), $5 wine to follow and decent priced scotches.  Great apps and a very relaxing atmosphere.  You cant go wrong with this place. 

Not long ago, I had a wonderful birthday dinner with a very special woman.  We had a private dining room on the 67th floor.  A wonderful coursed dinner, wine, appetizers, deserts and coffee.  A personal waitstaff to take excellent care of us, all for a reasonable price for a special occasion (under $300).  

The picture is my usual Friday afternoon view, unwinding after work with a scotch.  Now, if only this place had a cigar room!!!
