CHICAGO -- Chicago is known for things that are anything but small. Look at our pizza. It’s not just a pizza, but a gastronomic event that takes many friends, and in some cases, many days to finish. Also, there’s the Chicago Spire. When finished, it’ll shoot up 150 stories to become the tallest building in North America and the tallest residential tower in the world. Oh, and let’s not forget The Oprah. Hey, no explanation needed there.
Even though we’re new to Chicago, the members of the CHIPOD, are trying to live up to the city’s reputation. So one day after work, we headed out for some drinks. To finish the night, Sean wanted to order just one more beer.
Being the jackass he is, he wanted that last beer to be poured into an oversized Stella Artois glass. Mind you, this thing looked more like a decoration than an actual receptacle for holding delicious adult beverages. You can imagine our shock when, without hesitation, the bartender reached for the vessel and filled it with an estimated seven pints of Stella Artois.
Never to back down from a challenge, three of us sipped from the glass as if we just won the Stanley Cup. When the last drop fell into our bellies, the wait staff treated us like gods, or at least our fuzzy memories tell us that’s what happened.
As for the day after, most humans would be hating life. Not us here in Chicago. Collectively, we had little or no hangover the next day. There must be something in the water here. Hmm, or maybe it’s in the beer? I guess to we’ll have partake in another CHIPOD glass of Stella Artois to find out. Darn.
