Like a BOSS!!

This show is pretty cool. It debuted last fall and is starting its second season in August 2012. I am really not a fan of Kelsey Grammer, but his performance in Boss has come a long way from his Frasier days. The show centers around Grammer who is the mayor of Chicago. There are plenty of interesting characters and twisting plots that are an accurate portrayal of real political life. Last season was only 8 episodes..but it left me wanting more. Backstabbing, affairs and estranged family members are just some of the drama in Season one's plot. The show has received rave reviews and accolades including Grammer's Golden Globe Award in 2011. Watch a couple episodes and you will get pulled into the shady lives of Chicago's political elite.

Looking for somewhere to eat??

Why not try the top 50 restaurants? This list was just updated recently and no one was surprised to see Noma at #1. Good luck getting a reso at any of the top ten restaurants. Spain has become more of a culinary treasure nabbing three spots in the top ten. NYC is still represented with Per Se, and Eleven Madison Park. Alinea in Chicago places in 7th, down one place from #6 last year. To be on the list is a blessing and a curse. Sure the notoriety guarantees a booked restaurant for years and a huge career boost for the chefs and management. However, the fame can be overwhelming for some places and will lead to thousands of phone calls and dare I say..too much press! La Grenouillere was awarded "The One to Watch" Award..possibly a contender for the #1 spot one day...book a table while you can..chop chop!!
