I have a lawyer friend who lives in Chicago. He is such a cheapskate that he
has never eaten Chicago style pizza and has no clue what it is. Said the
only pizza he has ever had is from Old Country Buffet. He eats a late
breakfast, then gets there at 3:00 p.m. so he is able to get the senior
lunch price. Then he sits there sipping a some beverage until dinner time.
And then eats.
He once told me he would try out one of the Rick Bayless restaurants there
and report back to me. I knew that he wouldn't, given the menu prices. And
he hasn't.
