We landed in Chicago last night, and got to the hotel around 9pm. We were tired, and still getting our bearings, so we ordered room service. It’s Friday morning, and all I can think about is Alinea for dinner tonight. But, I have a bad habit of over-hyping things in my head, which usually makes an above-average experience seem mediocre. Will this happen at Alinea tonight?
I’m convinced it won’t. In fact, I think it’s going to be the best meal of my life. It will be. I really believe that. Really. I mean it.
It better be.
Topolobampo for lunch today, hopefully the Black Mole (like the one he made on Top Chef Masters). Post to follow.

I live in Chicago and I’m super jealous. Alinea AND Topolobampo? Man…one lucky visitor! Though I suppose I’m lucky too, I got to meet Rick Bayless at his own Frontera grill.
