We paid a visit to one sixtyblue (1400 W. Randolph) to see some of the new menu items by Chef Michael McDonald. Chef McDonald has worked under Jean Joho at Everest as chef de cuisine and most recently as executive chef at C (the Charlie Trotter restaurant in Los Cabos, Mexico) and executive chef of Restaurant Charlie, Trotter's seafood restaurant in Las Vegas. one sixtyblue offers $5 wood-fired pizzas on Friday evenings. You can stay informed of their specials via their Facebook page.

Anthony laid out some of the great reasons to try a restaurant during Chicago Restaurant Week and I have to echo them here. It's a great opportunity to try some places on which you might not otherwise risk your hard earned cash (or credit). 3 course meals - $22 for lunch, $32 for dinner. Be sure to check out the actual menu items being offered. You can see the restaurant week menu by: 1) clicking here, then 2) choose the restaurant you're considering and 3) click on the Restaurant Week Menu button - You can also make your reservations on this page (after step 2).

For me, the benefit of Chicago Restaurant Week is the ability to try out new places without risking huge stacks of cash. As such, I tend not to visit the cheaper or simpler options participating - when the cost is fixed at $32, I’m saving more money on the deal when I visit the expensive option.

Mmm, hot soup sounds good. Especially since we expected 18 inches of snow and ice this morning. Whatevs, weatherman! So, we're back to the Friday Buffet. This is because we kept thinkin' it was due up on Fridays and kept missing Thursday. D'oh!
