There was a time when I bought a lot of web printing for high volume catalogs, and Elk Grove Village is or was the epicenter of the industry at the time. I knew the area well.
Chicago, for all the negatives people throw out, is a food town, and an architect’s town, and I like it. I even enjoyed that 24 hour place right by O’Hare, Pine something? Awesome thick porkchops with brown gravy, and cheap.
Hit the place frequently because I usually was out late checking jobs on press, and stayed near the airport if I flew out the next day. Longer stays, I’d choose something nicer downtown.
I've found that pretty true. I have trouble finding good restaurants when I travel. Some might have good food, but service OFTEN lacks. Sometimes its the other way. But Chicago is a tough market. Food quality AND service AND location or decor have to be good. People here want the WHOLE experience.
