Trip To Trotter's

I’ve thrown this idea around, but writing it down makes it official.

Sometime in the spring, when lots of people traditionally meet up here in the Windy City, I’d like to have dinner at Charlie Trotter’s. It is, from every indication I can find, one of the finest resturants in the United States (and still run by its namesake — imagine that!)

Going to places like Charlie Trotter’s isn’t something I can do frequently, so I’ve got to go for their best offering. Therefore, I intend to book reservations for the kitchen table menu.

Who’s interested? When’s a good time? (As alluded to at the beginning of this post, I’d prefer sometime in May.) I’ve heard bits of interest from people but now’s the time to get a solid count. Charlie Trotter’s recommends that reservations be made eight weeks in advance, so now’s a good time to start planning. (And saving up. Eating there isn’t cheap; drinking there doesn’t help the cost.)
