My Illinoisy Life: Chicago's Best #1

Chicago's Best is a great TV show that takes a look at some of the great restaurants in the Chicagoland area. I usually catch the shows and make a list of all the places I would like to try. Last week or so they did the Finger Foods episode and hit Coach's Corner in Elk Grove Village, which happens to be a few miles away from me. Now, see... this weekend has been a special weekend for me, because I was actually off from work. Yesterday I had a girly day of breakfast with Shari from FindingAWeigh.com, lunch with Lauren, and then shopping, a stop at Caribou Coffee, and a pedicure. Sundays are usually spent cleaning and doing homework, but feeling inspired by such a splendid Saturday, I decided to try something new and check off a stop from my Chicago bucket list.

Coach's Corner is a great little Sports Bar & Grill, especially if you actually like sports. They have TVs all over the place, playing different sports at the same time, so sports fans don't miss a thing. The walls are decorated with all sorts of sports memorabilia and I was surprised at all the old Wheaties boxes with pictures of Michael Jordan that they had on the shelves. It had a great ambiance and even greater beer specials (small pitcher of draft Miller High Life for $3.50). Check out some of the food we ordered, and the clip from Chicago's Best: http://www.cltv.com/blogs/chicagos-best/wgntv-chicagos-best-finger-foods-coaches-corner-20120118,0,913449.story
