Chicago owners event Libertyville

[Sny]

One of the local dealers asked what ya'll would think of his idea.

From previous events, one thing that's usually needed are tools and parts. Some folks are ryding a long ways and it's not uncommon to need some maintenance or repairs before heading home.

He would like to bring a bus full of parts and tools to the hotel (or nearby) and offer his time to help those who might need it.

Since the Libertyville crowd is a bit "off the brp plan" as it were, he also suggested he could cater some food Friday evening and/or Saturday for those who aren't planning on braving the big city during the Taste of Chicago.

I don't think he has any intention of selling parts or services, just trying to help out with the event for those who want the option of avoiding the crowds.

Sounds like a great idea to me, any other suggestions or concerns?

[effgjamis]

I think it is a great idea.

Sounds good to me but I plan on eating some Chicago style pizza Friday night with a few others who are staying out in Libertyville. I / we wouldn't be there for a catered dinner.

Could you check the guest list-----I have my fingers crossed that I get to go along for Chicago Pizza with you.-----If not on the list do you know if the gas station across the street has one of those Stewart sandwich machine.
Then I could take something back to my room and watch weather radar.

Of course I planned on you joining us unless you got a better offer.

Just like Lamonster's picture, a deep dish pizza that has mostly cheese inside. Not just a thick crust like deep dish pizza's around here.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought they were. A guy I know said this pizza place I frequent serves Chicago style pizza, well they don't. Their pizza looks nothing like that. The pizza in the picture has a boat load of the good stuff.

All Chicago style pizzas are not the same... IMO, a good Chicago style pizza is about 2 inches thick with most of that being cheese, any toppings you ordered are melted into the cheese and a light layer of sauce is sitting on top. Identical to the picture.

I don't know about dinner yet, but I am coming from California and if this dealer wants to show up and help out if need be I for one would welcome his attendance. Wow, that sounded pretty formal. Dude, show up, sounds like a nice thing for a guy to do.

[Questions]

I'm staying at the holiday inn express in Libertyville and would love to attend any kind of dinner

[Longlegs]

Man what a great offer. If he ends up having to work on my spyder I'd buy HIS dinner. I'd be down for some Pizza though.
Hey was that a picture of Giordano's Pizza? MMM

[Ken5517 / Wish Again]

I will need to find a place that serves that kinda pizza, I have never been any where near Chicago so a new adventure for me.

[wcc002]

Now someone in the know needs to tell us where to find the best Chicago pizza.

[superfly3]

Uno's for sure

[Sny]

My personal preference is Lou Malnati's, which is about a 30 minute drive. You'd definitely get to sample Friday night suburban traffic

Gino's East is only about 3 miles from the Holiday Inn Express - Libertyville

But, us suburbanites know to avoid going East or South on Friday night so...
Uno's!

I'll call around tomorrow and see which one has the most seating

You really can't go wrong with any of them, all three are excellent Chicago Pizza

When I lived in the Chicago area, I preferred a Chicago style pizza from small, local pizza places. I'm sure there has to be a few of those kind of places around our motel. I wouldn't even mind getting take-out and eating it back at the motel if there is a large enough place for us to eat and visit instead of at a noisy restaurant.

Not too crazy about Uno, but Lou's and Giordanos are good Chicago style pizza chains. I know good places around Lake Villa but not near Libertyville however I have a friend that works there so I'll check and see what he has to say for a more mom and pop type place.
