I'm surprised at the immediate refund from SW, but isn't that nice! Benny's Chop House sounds like a place where they dismantle cars :) I'd have ordered 1/2 doz oysters, a NY Strip with seasoned mushrooms along with a couple glasses of good red wine. For dessert I'd have the selection of artisnal cheese (4 cheeses) with a good glass of port. I do this all the time with good restaurant menus - I pretend I'm there :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505134228454833619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-41634052698248714762010-10-22T16:43:13.581-04:002010-10-22T16:43:13.581-04:00I've never been to Chicago, and never consider...I've never been to Chicago, and never considered it as a vacation destination, but you made it all sound like so much fun!
