Top Three Chicago Restaurants to Spot a Celebrity In

After moving to Chicago all of my friends keep asking me if I have seen any celebrities. I think they believe celebrities grow on trees in Chicago. Maybe so compared to smaller cities. Being a regular Joe I have to say I thought my best chance of spotting a celebrity would be in a restaurant in Chicago. Based on this assumption I began asking around if anyone knew any great restuarnats in Chicago known for celebrity sightings. Three restaurants came up time and time again when I mentioned the word celebrities. I have to admit it became a little embarrassing asking anyone who would talk to me where they thought I might find a celebrity dining out at, but I was determined to have a good story for my old neighbors the next time I saw them. Mr. Beef, Gibson’s Bar, and Vivo were the unanimous choise restaurants in the city where you might find a celebrity. So, over the past month I decided to visit each one of these local restuarnats.

I started my little celebrity restaurant hunt out at a casual little joint named Mr. Beef. Mr. Beef is located at 666 North Orleans Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60610. Ok, I am just gonna tell you the only celebrities I saw were on the wall. So, I guess at least we know they had been in this local Chicago favorite. Celebrity or no celebrity though you must check out Mr. Beef if you are in the city. They serve up the Italian Beef sandwich that Chicago is famous for. You should definitley be hungry if you are making the trip to eat one of these massive sandwiches. Chewy bread is piled high with juicy thin sliced beef, cheese, and hot peppers. While very messy, it is very good. My favorite food on the menu at Mr. Beef has to be the skinny little French fries. They were great. I am not from Chicago and it was truly fun to eat there, I really felt like I got as sense of what the real Chicago is like. You can call in take out orders or directions at (312) 337-8500.
