Well after 20 plus years i would imagine you may get tired of the place even if the food was the best!

I remember I went to Hawaii five times and got tired the fifth time - so i get your point

I could make Hawaii every 3rd or 4th trip for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.

Default Taxi issues? Huh...

If I had my way I would instruct anyone that holds a taxi medallion in Chicago to take any yokel that wants to do to Cheesecake Factory or Bennigans or any similar crap chain restaurant to randomnly drive in circles and refuse to acknowledge that any such place exists. If the passenger's ask I would instruct the driver to respond in some obscure dialect that is extinct.

My wife's sister and their family were in town too, and plans for dinner with their little kids (5 & 3) were all set. The place would be the cheesecake factory Saturday night. Ahh, but XOCO will be closed on Sunday and time was running out. I could plead my case but then thought better as XOCO's I figured would not be the best choice for such little ones. So as they were heading to the cheesecake factory, I set my sights on Illinois and Clark with plans on meeting them for "dinner" later. A very understanding bunch, my family and theirs!
The trot was quick and determined but once getting there I saw the line going out the door and down the sidewalk. @#$%&! But then I noticed someone walking out with a bag and realized I could skirt this line as I was only there for take out. Got my Cubana (wonderful)and ate it on the walk back to the cheesecake factory where I learned they had "taxi issues". My timing was perfect as they were in line for about 25 mins and were just getting seated as I walked in. Quartino next time.
P.S. Cubs game= Best seats I ever had for the worst game I ever saw! Pirates 10 Cubs 0.....
Thanks to everyone, but the Cubs!

Chet~the taxi issue~ was that the driver had no change and thus the ride ended up being more then it should have been. Not that big of a deal really. The reason they picked the cheese cake factory was because of the little kids. I mean, it was that or the "rain forest cafe." Chicago has great places to eat but when you are with another couple with small kids the menu can start to get quite limited.
