Chicago-Part II- FOOD

We did so much walking around in the big city, that we just had to recharge often. Of course we did a little research about food and places to go... We were looking through the Lonely Planet guide to Chicago and found the reference to a place called Irazu as a budget place with good food (and lots of high fibre beans).Now, Costa Rica is not a place usually known for its food, but it had Gallo Pinto- a dish that I have tried to replicate with no success. Of course I ordered it. It was fantastic; the rice and beans were terrific, the plantains were done to perfection and the whole thing was complemented by a blackberry (mora) smoothie. Will have to make it back there one day.
