Chicago is famous for wonderful steaks, and I am happy to report that the highlight of my day was to have a juicy and sizable porterhouse with my colleague and friend, Nick Kalm. And just to underline my gluttony, this tasty meat was washed down with a fabulous bottle of 2005 Barollo, which is my absolute favourite Italian wine. I suppose the only bad news is that I had to pick up the check (or bill, depending on whether you speak American or English English!).
Good weather continues, so we were able to dine al fresco and watch Chicago life go by, which was fun. We saw a double stretch hummer, which is a ridiculous tank-like car that was almost the length of a bus. There's always plenty of crazyness to be found in this country. God bless America.
