Now Everyone Will Want To Eat There

The food is very good, if you can afford the high prices. Those in the know take their dining business to Cafe Spiaggia, the satellite facility that isn't is as high end as Spiaggi. Same kitchen, same food, and when you're cutting back, even the fine dining has to go. That little secret may soon be out, however.

When you're about to be the President of the United States, you're pulling down enough in salary to splurge on such luxuries.

News reporters around the world are reporting on the comings and goings of the President-designate, to the joy of Chicago businesses. He's living a normal life, they write, he goes about his normal routine and.....he's taken the wife out for dinner.

Was there a red carpet run out from Michigan Avenue to the front door of Spiaggia? You'd think so, to read the articles that describe the attire of the golden couple. All that was missing was Ryan Seacrest and a camera crew from the E! Network.

All the publicity, the excitement and the crowds that gathered on the street to greet the newest celebrities---just try to get a reservation at Spiaggia now. The place will be packed, waiting lists for tables running into months rather than weeks.

And someone will figure out that Cafe Spiaggia is just as good, but it costs less, and the rest of us don't stand a chance of getting in there for our special occasions.
