does craft have a web site?

was Hilary's geeky husband, Chad with her?

anyone going to CT's tribute dinner on the 23rd..

the hell did you get in? What can you say about it? DId it live up to your expectations..tell me about it...

or these: your server brings the food and says "Ok, who gets the salmon?" my shrimp aren't deveined waiters who wear printed t shirts (like a Mettalica tshirt) under their white work shirt and it shows through in a party of more than 8 when they add the gratuity to an already confusing bill and they dont tell you or mark it appropriately quoting specials w out telliing u the prices when your main course comes almost too immediately after your appetizer or worse yet while you are still eating your appetizers...

I hate it when waiters put their mini leather check - books in their pants under their belt in the back and then give it to you when its time for you bill...gross...

I have a whole tin of them from Dean & Deluca...but have never used them and I would like too...anyone have any recipes I can use these things in? Seriously, these are ok to eat right...did we get an answer on this virus rumor on Szechuan peppercorns?

Fresh Maine Lobster claws with fresh corn, jicama and cilantro relish...

tomatoes may indeed be a fruit but they sure act like a vegetable to me...and thus dont belong in a desert...imo

tomatoe sorbet? Is it me or does this not sound right? I was at Charlie Trotters a few weeks ago and he had a desert...a corn cake or something w heirloom tomatoes...this, I dont care for...tomatoes w desert?!? or am I out of line...

how was the service, what were you drinking and what was the cost...

You will love it...its really that good...

I agree it looks like babecue sauce and the beef is too dark and the rolll inst soggy enough w au jus running off of it and also a true Italian sandwich is wrapped in that paper that is soaked w oil from the sanwich...you know...

aurora, its supposed to be a portillos beef sandwich and a lou malnatis pizza- its from lou's website where you can order both these items... http://www.deepdishpizza.com/cgi-bin/lmcart.pl

gravy? as in like brown gravy? true italian beef sanwiches use au jus. If youre getting a sandwich w gravy its not a true Chicago Italian Beef, my friend. ANd what do you mean by "the works". True Chicago Beef sandwiches come w only one condiment: giardiniera - which is a mixture of peppers, oil and olives - you can usually get it hot or sweet...

Hey Gordon, Never heard of Carms... The best known in Chicago are Al's Number 1 Italian Beef, Mr. Beef & Portillos's. You cant go wrong w these three..but Ill have to check out Carms...

Ever had Usingers brand? Very good...might only be available in the Midwest however...

they have a website http://www.dippindots.com/default.asp where they talk about different flavors, ingredients and how to open up your very own DippinDots Franchise!

Hamptons Vodka is very very good and is the coolest bottle you can find, period. Its about $30 for 750ml but its worth it for the high quality smoothness and awesome bottle

they are all over chicago-even at movie theaters although I have yet to try them have you tried that ice cream on a slate or something - I tried it out in SLC, Utah last year...

sounds awesome...Im going to try cooking some rib-eyes Ducasse- style tonight...

Here are a few pictures Andy, I will add lots more when I have more time... my Mother and my wife Allison getting ready to goto Trotters
