Sunday Birthday Dinner

I am a serious foodie, who has only lived in Chicago for a couple months, looking for a place to celebrate my birthday on a Sunday. I am a huge fan of meat, beef carpaccio being my favorite food. The group attending are all adventurous eaters. Graham Elliot was our first choice, but they are closed on Sundays. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

celebrating friends engagement during Jazz fest

Check out Clancy's. There is not much on the internet about them, but it is a wonderful restaurant that does New Orleans well.

Ok, gimme the lowdown on EAT

I usually take Champagne and they are more than willing to supply the OJ. I really like this place. Last time I had a spinach and goat cheese omelet that was delicious.

Restaurant Ideas for Daughter's 21st Birthday on Saturday night and Sunday Brunch for 8 Fam & Friends

Jacques-Imos is a great meal where you can enjoy being old enough to drink their cocktails. Did Lilette for last years birthday and they really made it a special night, although their brunch could be an option too.

Stanley is finally open!

Just ate at Stanley...finally. I had the Stanley classic, two eggs, sausage or bacon, potatoes and toast. It was great, although the couple dining with Scott Boswell's mother were both enjoying the burger. That's what I will have next time, if anyone has an insider track it's his mother.
