Comments on: Of cheesecakes and car-kabobs http://www.wolfstad.com/2006/01/of-cheesecakes-and-car-kabobs/ Arthur & Amy's personal weblog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:22:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Orlando Airport Car Rental http://www.wolfstad.com/2006/01/of-cheesecakes-and-car-kabobs/comment-page-1/#comment-51297 Orlando Airport Car Rental Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:03:50 +0000 http://www.wolfstad.com/?p=96#comment-51297 When I was in Chicago last (Memorial Day Weekend 2008), I went to Eli's because my colleague grew up within 10 minutes of it. We didn't take the tour unfortunately, but we did purchase a plethora of products for him to take to his parent's house. I did see the outline of the spindle though: in the parking lot: Just wished there were more to see since I thought that was an artistic thing of interest that would bring in more customers to the factory. The whole place smells so good you feel like you can get a chisel, take a small piece of the wall, and consume that thinking it was cheesecake! Needless to say, it was fun taking a side-trip over there: I hope the next time I'm in town I can go through the whole tour. Take care.

His story highlights a website called Gapers Block which is a great resource for local news, restaurants, entertainment and anything Chicago.
