Chicago Food - A Declaration of Surrender

Until moving here, I'd never quite understood how anyone could devote their life to gluttony. Food can be good, sure, but I ate more for utilitarian and social purposes, and truly life-changing culinary experiences were both hard to find and expensive (and thus far between).

I think I understand a little better now. There is, quite literally, more amazing food here in Chicago than I could experience in a lifetime of eating out three meals a day. And there's more being invented every day. I'm fairly certain I've gained five pounds since we got here, and I'm certain I've barely scratched the surface.

Chicago, you have bested me. I shall continue to partake, and enjoy, but you will be the first place I've lived since reaching adulthood where my knowledge will never be truly comprehensive. I toast you - your variety, your ingenuity, your diversity. May it never cease.

So does anybody want to be gym buddies...?
