Hitting the road

I'm heading out later this morning to Chicago to attend a conference: so if you're in O'Hare today, and see a rather large assemblage of middle-aged dudes wearing dockers and never worn outside sneakers with bad combovers, you know the annual migration of political scientists has returned.

In the meantime, I'm soliciting Chicago dining suggestions. I'm staying at the Palmer House Hilton, so I'm looking for the downtown loop area, but I'm more than willing to get on the El.

I do like visiting Bacinos over on Wacker for great pizza, and there's a chinese place on Ontario in a basement that I'm particularly fond of. But variety is a blessed thing, so if anyone has any suggestions drop them into the Tasty Bits Mail Sack.

We're rapidly approaching our big milestone of the Millionth Visitor to the LLamabutchers sometime later this week. The winner will received an autographed LLamabutchers Thong, of course. More important than the traffic, we are also rapidly approaching our ten thousandth post between here and the old place. I want to do a longer retrospective for that milestone.

Yip! Yip! Yip!
