restaurant news you can use

at least, bits that are of some importance to me. (and both from gapers block, which I absolutely love. love love love.)

one - hue is closing! one of my favorite spots in chicago is closing...ack! supposedly, they are reopening elsewhere on division, but why, why I ask you, would they give up their space? it's just grand, especially the garden patio in the summer. I have taken so many people here, if hue closes for good, where will I go? (for chicagoans, the restaurant is closing on february 27, so there is a bit of time to still enjoy.)

two - according to a reviewer for gapers block, the milkshakes at chopper, a fast foody place a couple of blocks from my flat, are the bomb diggity. post-shamrock shake (having my first one of the season right now!), I'm all over this place. yum!
