I have been having fun reading some of the older posts in the LTE. See my quotes from billybreen, Earljam, and Ymo in my previous three posts or so.
What are some of everyone else's favorite older LTE posts?

You guys have been buy this morning. Unfortnatley, I am headed to Connecticut in a few minutes.
Look, ma; no puns!
I got to meet up with ArkieDukie at Blueberry Hill, and had a Schlafly Saison (Arkie had the Hefeweissen). I will post in Ymm, Beer. Sadly, not a pumpkin ale to be found in the stores.
Christmas ale is around.
Ted Drewes opens at 11AM. Will stop there before leaving town. And we'll also stop at Schnuck's to get provel cheese.
OH NO!! Not that thread hijack!

Ok, we definitely have to talk food before you next come to Chicago. Who comes to Chicago and goes out to eat at a giant chain steakhouse? That's like going to the Cheesecake Factory when you're on vacation in Paris. For the money Fogo charges, you could go to a top notch restaurant, and Chicago has them in spades.
Sometimes I like to go to the older page numbers and try to resurrect a thread. There are some real gems out there. Today I found wilson's True Story thread.
Not sure what people are looking for foodwise but I was thinking $40 to $50 a person w/o drinks. We want nice but not overly extravagant. I haven't asked the birthday girl what she wants but she has been known to try unusual things for a kid, I think. She ate calimari when she was 10. I always like a good steak - but don't like the places that charge $35 for a steak with no potato or vegetable.
Even more important - is there a good wine shop located in the South Loop? (Did I get the location right this time?)
