First night? Revolution... what recommendations do the rest of you have? Beer first, sadly, no dairy, which means that the worlds greatest pizza is out, but most anything else is fair game.
Working in the western burbs, so suburbia is not off limits.

I had a friend of mine bring this down from Chicago. It’s Chicago beer and they have a brewery and eatery.
I’m not from Chicago, but The beer in image is good, so I imagine it’s good food.

Chicago style pizza is overrated sauce & cheese soup with way to much crust around it. You are not missing much.

I used to live here, and suffered through the after effects of a mild dairy allergy / strong intolerance (it’s heriditary) just because it was so good.

I’ll check them out. They’ve been hit or miss with their brews, but everyone deserves a chance when in person and fresh. =)

Saw that. Asked some staff about the beer and got mixed reviews. That good? Might have to go back.

I had some at a BBQ place around STL, and I just had one last night with a big stake. I liked the beer.

I’ve repeatedly asked Xylo not to interact with me and she has once again ignored that, seemingly confident in the preferential treatment she tends to receive. Considering I was once banned for a similar transgression, I’m going to ask for equal treatment here. Thanks for your time.
