Hello Aaron, and welcome to Chef Talk. We have a lot of Chicagoland members so I just have to ask: Cubs or White Sox?
Since your time here is constrained, you may want to use the search feature to zero in on topics of particular interest. Don't miss the blogs, cooking articles, photo gallery (we have a contest going now) and all the great discussions as well.
Are there particular cuisines or ingredients you especially like? Do you have a favorite eatery (besides the one in which you are a server, of course!)?
Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the community. Welcome!
