Pigeonholed!
We can't believe it -- just days after we anounced our winner, the Urban Cafe (100 S. Wacker, bottom level) features roast leg of lamb as a lunch special (with two sides: we chose the vegetable rice pilaf and green beans, forgoing the roasted potatoes so as not to be slavish copiers). $5.99 before tax. No Merlot, but you can always BYOB (we think)...
We'd have invited Monz, but he was already off to eat his HCFA Chicken Baja + MLGGA SW (our readers are smart and do not their minds spoon-fed!). But we do have a hot tip for him, and for you! We all know that Monz' love of music is so great the universe almost can't contain it. But there's a dark side to this shining force: Monz, as many of us, once belonged to the BMG Music Service. Then, as many of us have, he left! And even though legally Monz had every right to rejoin BMG and take advantage of their initial offer, he just didn't feel comfortable doing so. Wrong and bad, plus they might catch on and give him some negative cajones (not that he couldn't lay that anti-soul to waste!) Well, now the same company has launched a kinda BMG meets Netflix: you cue-up a bunch of CD's and they sell them to you for $5.99 a month, shipping included. The catch is that you better cue them up, cos their gonna charge you the 6 bucks anyway. We predict Monz will consider and reject this offer, but will feel better for the process.
