Oliver would lose his mind seeing the food at Portillo's. Yes, the ladies had lunch there and shared both the lemon and chocolate cake. The men went to a different Portillo's and Jeff enjoyed a large Italian beef soaked in gravy.
The day began with welcome sunshine even though there was severe flooding west of us in Kansas. We all met in the breakfast room and then set off to visit the graves of Aunts Amelia and Gladys and Uncle Dan. Then the ladies drove south to Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park to see the graves of Jeff's maternal great grandparents. It was exciting to find these old graves with the greats and several great aunts and uncles. I took photos and will add new information to the family tree. All of the graves had photos on them and they will be added to my tree's gallery.
When I got back to the hotel Jeff had done our laundry so we are all set for another week or so on the road. Now time to rest up before dinner at Carson's.
This is Jeff's and Brian's favorite rib place. They have great chopped liver at their appetizer bar too. Arriving at Carson's in Deerfield to find it very crowded. We had reserved a round table for our seven and all ordered ribs except for me. I had scrumptious Greek chicken, cooked in lemon, herbs and oil and so tender. First they serve a large bowl of cole slaw and you get a potato with your meal. Choices are baked, double stuffed baked, potato skins, au gratin, wedges and fries. Food is so good and large portions. For dessert a waiter dumped a glass of ice cold beer down my back. I spent the rest of the evening doing laundry back at the hotel.
