I really enjoyed our meal at Girl And The Goat. It is run by one of the winners of Top Chef. Probably the best meal I have ever had. Get the goat belly if you go! Good beer selection as well, which is a plus for me.

I went to the Goose Island Brew Pub near Wrigley Field and that was pretty good as far as pub food goes.

I would also recommend grabbing a meal in Greek town. I've never had authentic Greek food like that. It was awesome. The place we went to has a great view of the skyline in the main dining area. I will find the name of the place if you are interested.

Chicago is an awesome city. Have a good time!

Check out Pegasus in Greektown.

Good Italian at Coco Pazzo.

I've eaten at both in the past 12 months and would revisit both if I had the chance.

Portillo's Foodservice is a great fast casual place. Get an Italian Combo... Italian Sausage and Italian Beef on Fresh Baked French Bread. Peppers Onions and Cheese. And they still fry their french fries in Beef Tallow. Dear God, it's good.

Go to Kuma's Corner. I saw it on DDD and tried to make a trip there when I went to Chicago a couple years ago. The only day I could go was on Sunday, when they aren't open. But all the people I met up with in Chicago vouched for it's greatness. It's not that far from Wrigleyville.

Good luck getting a reservation at Girl and the Goat. I tried, Failed! I say any bar in wrigleyville is awesome, as long as the cubs win. I ate at URBANBELLY and it was amazing. They guy also ownes a spot called BELLYSHACK. Korean food at its best IMO. Try going to WILDBERRY on Randolph and Michigan Ave. Great value, Huge Portions, and incredible breakfast food. Go to navy pier and take a architectural tour down the Chicago River. Worth the $35.
