Thank you! It sounds divine. .. I could kill for a home grown tomato about now, anyway. Crops are not good this year due to the rain.

Badge?
Thanks!
Some poster sent me a DM and commented Mods make big bucks.
I said if he wanted to see Big Buck's it is a skyscraper in Chicago.
If there is a badge, I can't see it. I'll take your word for it.

I can't say I'd ever miss ANYTHING about Chicago, BUT those Italian Beef "sammichs" they have there are THE best I have ever tasted in my life and when you get the "combo" with italian sausage...MY GOD I could eat those everyday from now on
The Greek Gyros were awesome up there too and some of the best I've ever had.
Chicago DOES have it going on when it comes to eating.

I absolutely love Gyros. There's a lounge in Lincoln Illinois that has Gyros, but not as good as those I have gotten in Chicago!
And Chicago type hot dogs....yummy!

Carbondale used to have a place that served some killer Gyros....I haven't been over there in awhile and don't know if it's still open or not.The owner was having health issues last I'd heard.
