When I stopped by on Sunday, there was a line out the door.  It had to have been 50 people.  Their Caramel Crisp popcorn is that magical combination of sweet-salty-crispy-cruchy-gooey that somehow punches all the pleasure centers of my brain.  This is how addictions start.<\/p>\n<p>Box number two got checked last night, as our Direct Mail service provider took us to David Burke&#8217;s Primehouse Steak House.  Their free-range, organic grass-fed, 55-day dry aged (with Himalayan pink salt), bone-in ribeye was without a doubt the best piece of beef I have ever eaten.  And the french fries with white truffle and asiago cheese were pretty tasty too.  It was a remarkable meal.<\/p>\n<p>Check box number three fell at lunch today.  Adam, Isabella and I went to Lou Maglinoti&#8217;s Chicago Pizza.  I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re curious how I could order a deep-dish pizza and still stick to my gluten-free diet.  Maglinoti&#8217;s solution is to make the pizza crust with sausage!  That&#8217;s right, sausage, filled with tomato sauce, tomatoes, molten mozzarella, and (at my request) green peppers.  It&#8217;s sort of a &#8220;meatza.&#8221;  While it was significantly heavier than a standard pizza crust, it worked, and was delicious.  I&#8217;ll definitely need something light for dinner tonight.  Maybe another bag of Garrett&#8217;s Caramel Crisp Popcorn with pecans.  <sigh><\/sigh><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corporalworks.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/D758327B-6698-451A-8094-8310FAF75585IMG_0008.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corporalworks.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/D758327B-6698-451A-8094-8310FAF75585IMG_0008.jpg?resize=210%2C281\" border=\"0\" width=\"210\" height=\"281\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin:5px\"><\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<\/p>\n<p class=\"blogpress_location\">Location:<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=N%20Michigan%20Ave,Chicago,United%20States%4041.893239%2C-87.624097&amp;z=10\">N Michigan Ave,Chicago,United States<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago is a great town for eating.
