I'm going to Chicago Cut for the first time tomorrow night with the new lady. Trying to try a steak at every fine-dining steakhouse in Chicago while I'm still living here. I've had Gibson's, Morton's, and Eddie V's so far.


Is there a better metaphor for the Hawks season than a well done steak? I think not. Something with so much potential to be great got completely f***ed up because it wasn't prepared the right way.

Coach Q=Well Done with steak sauce

Always thought ketchup flavored chips sounded disgusting, and a poster her mailed me a bag of those and all dressed and the ketchup ones were freakin awesome.

Thought the all dressed would be great.... meh.

Hopefully not. I most likely will have to when I graduate college pretty soon. Most of the engineering jobs I'll be looking for are out in the burbs and not in the Gold Coast in Chicago (where I'd much rather be)

Looking into anywhere specific to relocate to yet?

Well I grew up in Naperville and Aurora so I may just move back there and be close to the family but I've always really liked St. Charles and Geneva. The river up there (Fox River???) and the downtown area give it a lot of charm.

No! Stay away!

Im 28 and have been living in the city for 4.5 years now. It'll be a really weird transition back to the suburban quiet life. I don't mean that to be condescending at all, although I'm sure it is, but the city is just so different. I can have literally any type of night I want to any night of the week. There's at least one cool bar and restaurant on every block. There's ALWAYS something to do and I'm around so many people. I'm not sure if I'm ready to have grilling out on weekends and watching the game be one of the more fun things I do all week.

I'll probably be ready for that in the future and especially if/when I have kids, but until then the thought of that lifestyle is not very pleasant to me. Again, that's not to say my life in the city is better than anyone's in the suburbs, just that it's not quite for me just yet, if ever.

You have your mini van picked out yet?

Oh, I get it and no offense taken. I never lived in the city, (although most of my friends did, so I spent a good amount of weekends there going out) but I get the appeal for sure.

You touched on the life style thing and I think that's a huge part in it. Depending on where your are in your life, changes your priories for sure. Personally, being married with young kid(s) (1 and 1 on the way) the nightlife options is a pretty low priority for me these days, while 5-10 years ago, it was a huge deal to me.
