Distracted from the required letter, I began to recall the recent trip to Chicago. My tummy plant reminded me that I neglected it today, and it was four o'clock this afternoon! This is unreasonable. Let me tell you about dinner in Chicago before I eat.
In Chicago, I had the thrilling task of deciding where I would eat. I believe that almost every American and many foreigners have heard of a dinner in Chicago. If you have never had a pizza deep dish made in Chicago, you will not get pleasure! I say that, and I'm not a big pizza lover. I have pizza less than six times a year, if I often in Chicago. I should also add pizza packaged in New York.
For years, with four girlfriends and my summer vacation plans, we held The Taste of Chicago annually to get a selection of delicious cuisine offered by the famous and not so famous The Windy City restaurants. There is food to satisfy almost every thirst. Chicago boasts that this festival of food is the largest of its kind in the world. I believe them.
Just in case you go to Chi Town this summer or plan to take you in the future, the following restaurants are just a selection of restaurants in Chicago. Some of them are national and sometimes international franchises, while others are homegrown and own. I usually stay a short walk from Michigan Avenue, if not on Michigan Avenue; therefore, these restaurants are within walking distance of this area. Some of them are also reasonable taxis. This list is not exhaustive, but it will satisfy your appetite, rejoicing in your taste.

Other restaurants within 10 blocks from Michigan Avenue to view: Tempo, Gibson, Hugo, Frog Bar, Tavern on Rush and Carmine. Remain in taste for Vietnamese, Thai, steak, and elections, more Italian, Armenian, American, and new French cuisine in the second part of this article.
If you have an outstanding trip planned and you want to know these restaurants in advance, write to me. I will be happy to give you part II before the article starts.
Until next time, Bon Appétit! Instead, I was going to make a tuna salad, but instead Thai.
