Big Beef Runners
A big beef from Portillo’s recently found its way into my home. I Grubhubbed the BBS (big, beautiful sandwich) with hot and an order of large fries. Since I was ordering, I added a second meal for the next day – two chili dogs. Doubling up my orders has become standard practice during the coronavirus…

Life Indoors
American life screeched to a halt with the onslaught of coronavirus. Locally, as opposed to nationally, the government has done a fair job of protecting citizens. I was overcome with pride when Chicago earned an “A” for social distancing. Then the first sunny spring day arrived. The lakefront path filled with joggers and the 606…

River North, Wicker Park, Lincoln…

Chicago deals with COVID-19
On Wednesday, things started getting real. That morning, Mayor Lightfoot cancelled both St. Patrick’s Day parades.  Bummer. Is that really necessary? I wondered. Dublin and Boston cancelled St. Paddy’s festivities. Maybe Chicago was only following suit as to keep up appearances? That one expert said outdoor gatherings were okay. In Chicago, we wait all winter for St. Patrick’s…

Two Burger Weekend
If the weekend starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday night, then I can say I got down on two pub burgers over the weekend. After a workout and a sauna on Thursday night, I met my sister Meg and our softball teammate Zotti at Floyd’s on Armitage. I was ravenous after burning some calories.…
