Friends at the Cubs-Sox Game (plus two unhappy looking blonds - typical of the crowd that day)
John Butler Trio from Friday night (see previous post)I'm a thin crust kind of girl. There's nothing shameful in that, but here in Chicago it's a bit of a rarity. Without fail, when someone comes to visit they want Chicago-style deep dish pizza - the stuff that you can eat maybe one slice. If you're lucky.
So since my friends from home were down we decided to go to Giordano's for deep dish pizza post the Cubs-Sox Crosstown Classic Game (more on that in a minute). It took us about 35 minutes to order (with several tense moments), but everyone got what they wanted in the end. I split the spinach stuffed pizza and you know what? I may be converted. I've had Pizzeria Uno's, I've had several we've ordered through work, but this plain, spinach stuffed pizza really hit home for me. Or maybe it was just the excessive amount of beer and mai-tais and the really good friends I had around me.
To be honest, we kind of needed the pick me up following what might possibly have been the most boring baseball game I've ever been to - and I like baseball! I read a couple articles following the game and even reporters seemed to agree - the crowd wasn't into it. I don't know if it was the unseasonably cold weather, the poor playing/standings of both teams, or the hangover from the Stanley Cup parade the day before, but I have to say, I was disapointed.
It didn't matter in the end - like I said, surrounded by friends we would've had a blast anywhere.
