点评:I've known John for 40 years, ever since he joined my staff of stringers and began covering high school events in the 1980s. Both of us are retired now. But we keep in touch almost daily. My wife and I take him out to lunch or dinner to celebrate his birthday. He isn't a Chateaubriand for Three kind of guy. Miller's Ale House is his favorite. "I like the menu," he says. So here we are...lunch at Miller's Ale House at 4474 North Harlem in Norridge, Chicago's nearest northwest suburb. Miller's is a national chain of casual sports bar/pubs that opened in 1988 in Jupiter, Florida. Today, it has 101 locations in 10 states, seven in the Chicago area. Open from 11 to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, it serves bar snacks, burgers, salads, ribs and steaks and offers large selection of 35 tap beer in a full-service bar surrounded by TVs. For his birthday, John had a chicken Caesar salad and chicken parmesan alfredo with marinara and fettucine. My wife had a house salad with Caesar dressing and meatloaf with fries. I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a house salad with Caesar dressing and fish 'n chips, beer battered whitefish with fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. For dessert, we had slices of delicious key lime pie. Two other tasty options on the menu are BBQ baby back ribs basted in sweet and tangy BBQ sauce and pork Osso Buco, a marinated and slow-cooked veal shank with mashed potatoes and brown gravy and vegetable medley. Happy Birthday, John.
