What an awesome trip. Chicago is one city that I haven't been to yet but would love to visit. It seems like you did a ton while there. A $61 appetizer? Holy cow. That's classy that they gave it to you on the house for Steve's service. Heaven knows you both deserve at least that much.
Looks like you guys have been traveling fools! Glad you had a great time.
