Since we enjoy food so much, we make it a point to go out for our wedding anniversary. For our 4th, we went to Custom House and thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s a nice steakhouse a train stop away from our house. The food was excellent – definitely geared more towards beef and seafood, which was fine with us. We had some grilled octopus, a juicy steak, short ribs, and I tried sweet breads for the first time…wow decadent! In honor of Sarah Palin, for dessert we had a baked Alaska…baked ice cream! Oddly enough, later I read that on this day, it was warmer at the North Pole as compared to Chicago.
We redeemed Amex points for a $100 gift certificate from our now obsolete IN: CHICAGO Amex credit card. We’re going to miss getting restaurant gift certificates for points but thanks to the Amex Blue card we can at least get cash back.
The crazy part? After paying minimal for our dinner, we achieved 10,000 points from opentable.com! Now we get to choose from a very long list of restaurants to redeem our $100 opentable.com gift certificate. There are so many restaurants to choose from…I think we’ll finally try Topolobampo, TRU or The Publican. Any suggestions?
