      Viand is on my target list, but I haven't been yet. The food is supposed to be amazing.

      Fogo de Chao is great, especially if you've never been to a Brazilian place. Bring a HUGE appetite, don't fill up on salad, and pace yourself. There will be literally be all the meat you can eat. Nothing especially "Chicago" about it, but if you don't have this in Columbus, go for it.

      Ditka's is good and it's nice to say you've been there. Personally, I'd suggest any of a half-dozen premium steakhouses in the area as an alternative.

      Haven't been to the others on that list.

      I'm surprised you haven't yet been urged to go for "real Chicago pizza" yet. You'll be pretty close to a couple classic places for that.

        IF you go to the Billy Goat and can pronounce the owner's last name, you get a free cheezburger!

          The Billy Goat hasn't been any good since it turned into schtick. And the food was always craptastic.

          But it's a cheap date at a pop culture icon.

            To be honest, I've never been a huge "Chicago-style" pizza fan, but if the missus wants to go I'm game.

            Thanks for the advice! Here's to hoping the hotel gets Versus so I can watch the game tonight.

                I never said it was good. But you can say you were there.

                      I is hoping it's "Metro Deli and Cafe", cos that's where I's gonna be.

                        I'll be late, just so you know. Won't be until after 6.30, if I'm lucky.

                          I actually could be there, but I'd have a 3 year old in tow.

                              Thanks for the advice gentlemen, we enjoyed our stay in your lovely city. The wife twisted my arm into going to a Chicago-style pizza place (Giardino's, or something like that?), and my attitude regarding Chicago-style pizza has been adjusted accordingly.

                                Too bad you weren't in town for tonight's meeting.
