Well, we saw a whole lot of Florida Men in that case. What about Florida Women? Is that a thing too?

I did treat Mrs. 847 to lunch at a local joint in Clewiston. I could do a write-up on that one too.

I may or may not have said my vows last night in order to legally become married before going to Italy where our "official" elopement will occur...

But don't tell anyone. It's a secret ;-)

I assume this means congratulations are in order?

I'm very happy for you. I know you've been through a lot.

Assuming the event happened, yes I accept your congratulations ;-)

speaking of Chicago/DePaul in the hoops thread made me want to mention to Mr. 847 to visit Monteverde, if he hasn't already.  Wonderful Italian restaurant in the West Loop.  My brother is friends with a co-owner (used to work with her) and it was wonderful.  The Ragu (can feed 2-4 people) is spectacular.

I've heard about that place, but it wasn't a good review like yours. Maybe I'll check it out next time I'm down there (which is more rare as time goes by).

My favorite U.S. place for Italian (so far) is in Sheboygan.

Yes.

That Sheboygan.

must be Stefano's?  He/they own a few places IIRC in the area, an upscale spot, a pizzeria, Farm to table place and another place on the waterfront .   There's another place up there (Lino's?), not sure how that is.

my boss and a friend are from Sheboygan originally, hence I have some Sheboygan knowledge beyond the 'roll' and fish boils.  Elite golf courses in nearby Kohler and on the lake of course.

Yes, Trattoria Stefano. 

Stefano also owns Il Ritrovo (brick oven place, great pizza/pasta), Field to Fork (sandwich/breakfast/market) and Duke of Devon (English pub food - excellent).

FtF also does random special nights like German. Russian, Polish, French, etc. foods as an experiment. 

We take the boat up there twice per season or so. Long boat ride (and gas...) for dinner, but it's just that good.

Rumor is that back in the mob's heyday in Chicago, Wisconsin was a favorite place for them to get away from it all. I have a friend who waited tables in college back in the 50s when very mob-like folks regularly ate in her restaurant in Wisconsin.

They still Escape to Wisconsin as the old slogan went.  Now they are just called Fibs. ;) In my old stomping grounds there s still a street named Capone.  He had a hideout.  Also had a cabin up in Hayward.   Milwaukee mobsters were mostly wiped out in early 80s by Feds . Very violent was Mr. 'Big'.  Whatever is left extends into Racine, but is mostly Chicago based crew.  I worked a small time case in the US Attys office one summer in early 00s. Art theft, laundering and the like.  Fine art is a slimey business.
