I would have asked about the supply chain and expressed understanding of the situation. I find myself expressing gratitude more often and urgent than before the virus.

For someone like me, a $78 steak may as well be a $780 steak. I love steak, but if I'm going to spend a lot on a meal, it's going to be seafood.<br /><br />And $400 for a duck dinner at an upscale establishment like Alinea?

We haven't gone back since well before the pandemic began, but looking forward to it again. I've always thought of it as a distinctly "Chicago" kind of place, almost a secret club for VIPS. I've always felt almost privileged when I walked through the entrance, noticing how jammed it was, both upstairs and downstairs. Great service and good food. It was kind of a rushed feeling, however, as if they wanted us not to linger there.
