We usually go to Chicago once a year to see my husband's family. We
rarely get into the city since they live in the suburbs, but this time
around we got the chance to spend a few days downtown, much to my
delight. However, we didn't have a lot of tourist time because we had
volunteered to help friends of ours pour their wine at the Windy City
Wine Festival, which was a 2-day, all day into the night affair. We
had one free lunch, so to speak. After watching Rick Bayless on Top
Chef Masters I wanted to go to one of his restaurants, but once he won
I knew getting in would be fairly impossible, especially on our tight schedule. However, it's because of
him that we went to Terzo Piano. I follow him on Twitter and one of his
fans asked where he likes to eat in Chicago and this modern cafe
located in the Art Institute was one of his favorites. I figured if the
Top Chef Master likes it, it had to be good. It's location made it perfect since we had already planned on visiting
the Art Institute – a must see when in the city – to check out an
exhibit about the History of Wine. I know, I have a one-track mind.
