Al's Beef.
Buona Beef.
Portillo's.
Mr Beef on Orleans. Good beef but prob not in the discussions for best of the best anymore. But. It's where that show The Bear which was a big hit on Hulu is filmed so bonus of good IG material if that's your thing!

My all time favorite was at Tom and Jerry's in Dekalb. My gf introduced it to me and I was thinking Portillo's was best and it was a hit or miss depending on which Buona Beef you went to. (I really like the one on Higgin's near Barrington Road.) Now I agree with her about T&J's, but they might not be around much longer.
Anyone remembered when Zippy's was first here?

There are four good beef joints nearby me, my favorites in order would be Mr. Beef and Pizza on Harlem and Irving, Frannies Beef on River Rd in Schiller Park, Buona and Portillos.

My visitors would sometimes pickup what I liked to call "the heartattack special". Which was the cheesy beef with sweet peppers, dipped and cut in half with fries! O on occasion I would ask for the beef sausage combo given the same treatment. I mean that stuff is terrible for your heart, however who really cares when I eat big, f it. I eat very big! Oh wow! Miss it right now. As far as corporate beef not a fan at all. There is a little place bob o's at cumberland and irving that I like just for the amount of food they give you. Also I can walk to frannie's from here and just by driving by I know that is a great local place for comfort food! Like I say 12 15 bucks for a beef and fries I am ok with, however I want that beef to be stacked and falling out, a real bun like a turano or gonnella and then dipped with the sweet peps. I just don't like the way the corporates handle the whole process and have tried the ones mentioned here. Just not impressed. Now gyros don't get me started. I am half greek so I do know by gyros!

This has nothing to do with anything. I just thought my fellow mongers might enjoy it. I just finished reading an online story about a woman in England that was denied enjoying a number of rides at an amusement park due to safety. The problem? Her 38 E chest denied safety restraints. I almost coughed up laughing. I wish she would come to me for a ride. There would be no safety issue and she could have a great ride.
So EB and LC has this thing where you have to take a picture with your I'd to post an ad. I'm not sure if the system is just complicated or if the girls are dumb, but there are a lot of ads where there are pictures of the girl holding up her I'd with all her information. A quick 2 minute google search and you have their real name, address, phone number, birthday, their social media, where they work, where they went to school, etc. It's incredibly ripe for abuse. The profession needs to be legalized and regulated.

Since Recreational Marijuana is legalized it could be a matter of time with Gen Z and Millennial political thinking that it may happen in the future.
Reading through the comments on each forum, I have come to the conclusion that most of you don't understand this hobby, how it works, or most protocols. Of the people who comment regularly, only a few know very little. It seems there is far more complaining than having fun. I will offer my services to a select few. I encourage lurkers, who probably have equivalent knowledge to mine, to participate. I hate to see so many swing and miss more often than hit a homerun. Who wants to learn?

[QUOTE=TJGeek;5874545]All the advice so far has been my experience also, especially that from FafaFooey. I've had a few give me their contact info and agree that you should proceed with caution and not expect anything, but see where it goes. In my case, I had one that just kept it business, another that turned it into a more semi-exclusive "side guy" situation after she left the business. With perhaps some emotional component to it. A few others I did not follow up with after being able to learn more about them by a simple internet search. A few were from out of town and it seemed to hard to connect while traveling. So after the first text, expect it to be a continuation of her business, but play it out and see what happens. Beware of a possible emotional connection that will complicate things.
Please update us on how it turned out![/QUOTE]Long story short, I wish I would of never reached out and kept it professional.
[QUOTE=Jinurso;5881097]You might be referring to me. Yeah, at some point or other I ended up with numbers for most of the CLM girls. I never crossed into personal territory with any of them, although a couple made it clear they were open to it. There are two I considered dating in real life, but as another poster noted, when you start venturing into an escort's personal life, you may not like what you find. This woman had a couple of kids and a lot of ex drama and it just wasn't worth it. The other one seemed well adjusted but seemed to be hiding some serious darkness behind that came out over text that scared me off before I asked her out. Shame because she's a great communicator and we have really good chemistry when we are together.
There was a third girl at CLM who gave me her number and within five texts wanted to have my baby (literally, as some sort of green card ploy). I wasn't attracted enough to her to explore, but make sure to pull out with that one LOL.
The fourth one I talked about previously, and she really really really wants a husband. I got the impression that she is working at CLM hoping to strike gold and intentionally has a limited menu so she won't be seen as a prostitute whenever her future husband does walk through the door. We texted for a while but she's so dull I lost interest. She tries way too hard to come across as a good catholic girl who just does this temporarily.
In the end I'd rather just meet a girl outside the sex worker realm. I have a second date lined up with my pilates instructor that has some promise.[/QUOTE]All your experiences went better in comparison to mine. Should of listen to all your advice and respected client boundaries. Well you live and learn!
On Tuesday hopefully everyone here votes. I am not going to get into political affiliations, I think we can all agree to vote for anyone other than Tom Dart for Cook County Sheriff.

They are running scared as all of the big people on that side of the game are in town over the weekend! So look for rolling entrance, exit slowdowns everywhere where they will be. All to do about nothing! Hopefully all comes out as planned.
[QUOTE=Ratso100;6201615]Long story short, I wish I would of never reached out and kept it professional.[/QUOTE]Thanks for closing the loop on this post.
If you are willing to share, I'm interested in hearing what happened and lessons learned.
I have one that is "out of the business" now (except for a few guys she still sees) and has her own personal life, but at time shares info with me and makes subtle requests for favors. Its easy to fall into the trap when intimate emotions are in play. I can see how it would be easy to let your guard down and make mistakes in these situations.
[QUOTE=Fit312;6201467]How many girls do you have buried in your crawlspace?[/QUOTE]Your comment makes no sense, but what should I expect from someone not intelligent enough to change their handle from the one on RM?
I had that happen with an AMP worker. Unfortunately it took a huge emotional toll on me at the time. Lesson learned!

[QUOTE=CGuy2;6201800]On Tuesday hopefully everyone here votes. I am not going to get into political affiliations, I think we can all agree to vote for anyone other than Tom Dart for Cook County Sheriff.[/QUOTE]And that is the problem. Many people b**ch and moan and actually very few do vote. I know all of this from my community service when I lived in the west loop. The opposition is very organized and they spend years cultivating their voters. I mean let's face it this is a one sided state. What happens in chi happens for the state. Personally I am in a little pocket of deep conservatism and the few activists and progressives that have tried to infiltrate were voted down and never came back. My motto is if you don't vote I won't listen to your moaning and groaning about results. It's getting better, however we have to make a bigger push in 2024. The time to start is now. I study candidates, I look into backgrounds and when I vote I have my cheat sheet with me and I spend time in that booth. Also imo we have to come up with more presentable people to run against some of the clowns in office. You can't have a mope run against some razzle dazzle candidate who looks like they came off of a hollywood movie set. People listen with their eyes! Oldman stosh. Out. Peace.
This is a county vote, but it was moot. He won in a landslide. Maybe all the 3 k votes for the Libertarian were from mongers. LOL.

Good old what's his name lupe on the republican side. When I printed out my cheat sheet the lib party candidate was left off or tbd at the time. Problem is uncle tom is pushing all the right buttons with the libs. All in the name of human trafficking! Those two dreaded words! Also as goes the city goes the state and the county of course imo. Even our beloved governor has said that and this is a loose quote "maga right wingers will not get one inch of illinois" huh? Many people and I am one did not vote for him and never will! Again pandering to the fears of the public. Plus as mentioned here not enough people on the other side of the fence get out to vote!! It just is. Saw it first hand in the rahm election when I lived down there. Plus they will back and pay for some spoilers to spread those votes out. Enough sorry if I have offended some of us. Once again the hobby will be under the eye of uncle thomas! P.S. Case in point I live in a 6 unit building near the big airport. Out of I want to say 10 eligible voters I voted and possibly 1 other. Just is. People are complacent and the other side counts on that!

Guys, this thing of ours is not legal. Rather than pearl clutching about Ds or Rs who may or may not enforce, focus on what political ideology would be open to decriminalization. That's not the role of a sheriff. It's the role of lawmakers. And you'll certainly get no sympathy from conservative lawmakers. It's the liberals who are sympathetic. Look deeper. Because conservative Ds certainly abound.
Peace back.
