No-show date and no-smart ordering
Jun. 30th, 2010 06:00 pmI arrived at Old Chicago about 5 minutes before noon to meet my blind date. She said she would arrive between noon and 1 PM. I waited outside until about 12:30, then went inside to the waiting area (where I could look out at the patio.) I forgot to bring the woman's phone number with me, so I was hoping she would call me if she was unable to make it. She hadn't arrived by 1:05, so I decided to just get a table in the bar and dine by myself.
I didn't know Old Chicago's Web site had nutritional information for most of its dishes, otherwise I would have chosen my meal more wisely. For instance, I didn't know their Caesar salad had 855 calories! The salad, a calzone and an "Old Chicago Iced Tea" totaled close to 3,100 calories. I'm about to take a walk to help burn off some of these calories, then I'll pedal the stationary bike later tonight.
