There are many ways to get recommendations for great food sources in Chicago. Here, I built my own recommendation, which albeit untested, should be a good resource for economical and fun outing. I went to Yelp and picked restaurants that offer different cuisines on the basis of price ($, $, $$) and ratings (3*/208 means 3 stars out of 208). As the days go by I am going to explore these places...you should too and let me know how it goes.
Texas de Brazil (Brazilian Steakhouse, $$$, unknown rating)
We went to this one yesterday. I think we ate an entire cow!!! It was $44 per person. We definitely ate a lot of amazingly tasty steak prepared in at least six different styles. It was awesome. One thing though is that they do not prepare their Caipirinhas they way they do in Brazil. Brazilian Caipirinhas are prepared by grinding lime in presence of sugar then adding ice and cachacha to the mix then stirring it. If you want fruity drink, just drop the fruit of choice (try lychee!!!) into the drink before adding ice. The way the bartender did it was he prepared it as if he was making cocktail...did not like it. Also, the drink was expensive, you may be better off picking a bottle of Napa valley red wine for $27 instead of two bad Caipirinhas for $11 each!RA Sushi Bar Restaurant (Japanese/Sushi, $$, 3*/208)
