A: Shit man, you see the election? He would've been Prime Minister if he hadn't lost his own seat.
a Chicago- restaurant chain do you see Portillo's in another state? just wondering... that has amazing food and rocks!! my personal favorite: Barnelli's, where they serve real, fresh Chicken Caesar salads. best shit ever. oh, and their decor is major bad-ass: 1920s Chicago :)
