Chicago! Seriously, my kind of town

What's not to love about this city in May? The weather is perfect, people are everywhere and the bars? SLAMMED! People come out in this city!

Last night I had the great experience of going to Sushi Samba on Wells in the city. Can there be this many pretty people in one location? Standing room only, forced my buddy and I to eat at the bar, which, when eating with chop sticks can be lethal as people are bumping into me and I'm stabbing various parts of my face. You want unusual sushi, you have to stop by this place. Bring a clear credit card, cause pretty people eat expensive sushi, but it's well worth it. I had a Kobe Beef roll, which was lobster on the inside and kobe beef on the outside. Are you kidding me? Just typing this makes me want to order in! I could eat this for breakfast! Amazing. It was also $18.00. Did I mention I travel on an expense account?

Ok, this is a vokda column, so let me get to that. The bartender, one "Clint" a handsome chap, who has been a bartender there for 2 1/2 years and I can understand why. He was amazing. He strongly suggested that I have one of his Vodka-based mojitos and I'm glad I did. The wizard squeezed, shook, strained and poured in less than 30 seconds and I had one hell of a great drink. Sour at first, but with a strong minty finish, this was a perfect match to our sushi. He made it with Chopin since they didn't carry Zodiac. it was awesome.

This is night one of 5 in Chicago. Look for more before I head back to Dallas!!
