Red Light - Restaurant 25; Tiger - Beer 21

Last weekend our Athens friends Margie and David Barba were in Chicago visiting their daugher Emma who recently moved to town. We met them for dinner on Sunday night at a great west loop Asian fusion restaurant called Red Light. We started out with an excellent crab cake appetizer as well as some yummy sweet potato fries. Susan had scallops on polenta and Kate had "Shrimp 99", both of which were very good. But as so often happens, we really liked the appetizers the best. Susan also had a Tiger beer, which was pretty tasty for a lager. We were all so stuffed from dinner that there was no room for dessert! However, the very best part of dinner was catching up with the Barba's and getting all the latest dish from Athens. Hope they come to visit the city again soon!

We really like Red Light the one time we went. And what a fancy street...one night on the way to another place around there, we spied Brian Urlacher going inside. I guess it's where the cool people hang out.

Great fun fact Mira! Ulracher is the ultimate Chicago celeb! (except for Oprah I guess ;^)
