My husband and I will be traveling to Chicago next weekend to see U2. Anyone up for a 'dopefest Sunday afternoon?

Yeah. I suggest a Madison get together once, and nobody replied. My tears ran like, er, hotcakes?

PLEASE STOP with the overwhelming responses, people! We’ll never find a big enough restaurant.

Fisha, if you and hubby come by Madison on the trip, maybe you wanna take a break from the road and sit down for a decent meal. Lots of good restaurants just off the highway. I’m on the other side of town from 90/94, but WTF, way easier to cruise over to the east side for Dining with Dopers than all the way to Chicago and back.

Plane. Otherwise I’d stop in Madison, I love Madison. Great sized town, and you used to have a hell of a Greek restaurant.

Ok, seems like maybe next time.
