you had me at free beer.



when my brother started working here I'd lived here a month. and I was good at going to the pizza places that make chicago dining famous. this after all is what people want when they come to visit. when my brother lived here he ate out every night and I tagged along often on Papa Deloitte's dollar. through my brother I found my favorite breakfast place, yolk, where I am more that willing to wakw up at the crack of dawn and pay the chicago parking meters, just so I can enjoy their oversized, underpriced breakfasts, I also discovered my favorite mac and cheese at bijan's bistro.....where your cravings can be cured till 4 am. and I discovered by bimonthly hangout, rock bottom brewery.

we made the unfortunate mistake of stumbling into the RB grille the first time we frequented the establishment. delightful if you are willing to pay a premium for tablecloths and hostess seating. trip number 2 we hit up the cheaper and more delicious uncovered tables, seat yourself side of the joint and I was hooked.

the chicken waldorf salad...perhaps one of my favorite salads EVER.

add to this the addition of mug club membership - FREE card, 20 oz beers instead of pints, and PRIZES after increments of visits. ( my pint glass count it 4)

add to this more with $5 appetizers including FULL pizzas during happy hour and I am there. I am there twice a month (if not more)

the newest addition...FREE beer. - not so good the the RB crowd,,,but new to me and simply delighful - every 3rd Thursday of the month, when they tap their new seasonal brew. 2 hours of FREE beer. FREE GOOD beer. I am 100% there.

I am 100% there AND I blogged about it.
