What do I do? It involves celiac disease.?

I鈥檓 going to this thing at Gino鈥檚 East Pizza where you meet the Chicago Wolves players. They come as waiters and take your order. Since I have celiac disease and can鈥檛 eat wheat, what do I do? A player will be asking for what I want and it will be weird. I have a granola bar to eat there but I am mainly there for autographs. So what do I say when the player takes my order?What do I do? It involves celiac disease.?
Hey. First, cool that u get to meet the players!! If your there for autographs, just order a soda and maybe something for a friend (if u dont want to feel weird only ordering salad or something, see if your friend will let u order wings or something for him.)

So order a salad for you (or if u know they have GF wings or anything) plus whatever your friend wants, enjoy and get your autograph!!

Cool!



If u really wanted to u could ask them to heat up your own GF pizza, but again, u know that deals with cross contamination and is a big pain!
You can simply order a drink and receive the autographs you seek.



I had a medical issue a few years ago and they initially diagnosed me with Celiacs. It was very upsetting seeing as all my favorite foods were being eliminated from my diet.



You will do fine. Eat before hand and order something to drink or review the menu and there might be a salad or something you are allowed to eat that you can order.



Have fun!What do I do? It involves celiac disease.?
you know what you have... right ?

you know what you got to do .. right ?

if you answer yes..

next step..

order yourself.. (if someone feels bad.. what the heck.. its your body.. its your life)

good luck
Order a salad and a drink. Or if you feel out of place, order a slice of pizza and then don't eat it. Check the granola bar, some have gluten hidden in themWhat do I do? It involves celiac disease.?
You can either order pizza and just eat the toppings. Or you can check the menu. Do they offer wings? Appetizers? Remember if you order an appetizer that comes with bread or chips, just ask for extra celery and use the celery for dipping. There is always the salad option as well.
you can order a breadless pizza,which is sauce,toppings and cheese.as a celiac myself i love breadless pizza.

Chicago PIZZA.....?

is it like eating a piece of pie? Or can u eat it

with your fingers? The pictures I have seen of Lou Manalti's and gino east makes it look like it has so many layers a person would need to use a FORKChicago PIZZA.....?
I would not say it is liking eating a slice of pie. I suggest that you eat the pizza with your hands the first time and fork and knife thereafter. I hope you enjoy.
We have the best pizza ever. You never git tired of it. AUHHHH It's a( Homer Simpson) type thing when it Com's to Chicago pizza.Chicago PIZZA.....?
You definitely have to eat with a fork at Gino East. It's sooooooo goood!
Yes, you can eat it without one but you can eat it with a fork too! Its yummy!Chicago PIZZA.....?
Chicago pizza rocks! You can eat it with a fork if you choose; but it's best to just grab napkins and eat with your hands.
If you go to Gino's or Connie's or Giordano's, plan to have the deep dish style that sometimes requires a fork. It's still pretty good.



Lou Malnati's, Chicago's Pizza, and just about any little cheesy pizza stand you pass will have the thin sliced, fold-in-half-if-you-want-to type pizza that does not require a fork.
The same rules apply as with eating lobster or shrimp. If the food isn't all over the table and your hands are clean, put on a bib and have a good time with your friends. If you were at home would you pick up the slice.
it's not like eating a pie... any way where did you get the pic from???
For good Chicago stuffed pizza, you need a fork. It is thicker than one inch. Giordanos is my favorite.

Living in IN and commuting and working in Chicago... what is it like?

I have my second round of interviews coming up with a company in Chicago. I live in Merrillville, IN which is considered part of the greater Chicagoland region. If I get the job, I plan to probably take the South Shore to Millenium Station, and then the #20 (Madison, I think) bus over to where I work. I was looking into the CTA trains, but there aren't any stops close to where I would be (near corner of W. Washinton Blvd. and N. Sangamon St.). Is this area considered the Loop? Or the west loop? I'm still learning more about the regions. What is crime like? Cost? What is it like commuting daily to Chicago? I've ridden the South Shore before, but only in the afternoon and evening. I've heard it can be very busy during rush hours. How is the bus system? Tips, suggestions, encouragements? I'm pretty excited. I find Chicago a bit intimidating but I really like the city and the few times I've been there over the past few years have been good. Plus, you can't beat Gino's East or Giordano's!Living in IN and commuting and working in Chicago... what is it like?
I have never done it myself, but my co-worker passed up a job in chicago and he lives in merriville. He told me about his caculations and that it was not worth it for him to do. Yes, the money is great, but how much do you value your time not getting paid just to get to your job?

I'd say that the commute will easily add at least an hour each way for you. that makes an 8hour work day 10...



The south shore is very busy during the 5 and 6 o'clock hours in the evening leaving chicago. I've gone to numerous cubs games and leaving Millenium station, the trains were always quite full.



Is it feasible $ wise? what is it going to cost you for 5 round trip train rides and 5 round trip bus rides a week? what is the pay increase going to be over that which you will get closer to home?



I am going to be looking into a job in chicago in the future, but the pay will have to be outstanding for me to commute and out of this world for me to move to the surrburbs of chicago.



Good luck with whatever you decide

Thing To Do and See In Chicago?

i'm going to be in Chicago with my mom and to see my BFF and i wanna know what should we do, we will be in town 27-30 of this month so basiclly 2 days that saturday and sunday cause the other are travel days, what should we do, all i wanna do is get some chicago style pizza at Gino's East but i heard its an hour wait and another hour for pizza, is that true? is it the best? i only want the best. anywhere else you can suggest to eat (not expensive, casual type) and fun places to go. we will i downtown i think, we are taking Amtrak in.Thing To Do and See In Chicago?
Gino's pizza is a great pizza place to go to if you like Chicago style pizza. Everyone in Chicago has a different opinion on were the best pizza places are. My top 5 Favorites Are, Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Connie鈥檚, Giordano鈥檚, and even though they don鈥檛 sell deep dish home run inn.



If you are worried about the time on the pizza, that鈥檚 no problem. You could call Gino's East and make a reservation. While making the reservation if you know what kind of pizza you want you could always just Pre-Order it, so when you sit down the wait for the pizza will be decreased.



As touring goes, take in a museum or three. Chicago has so many great and varied museums that it is hard to narrow it down to just one. The Field Museum is my pick for all around family fun. The permanent and special exhibits will interest the whole family. The Art Institute of Chicago will fill your eye and your soul. Prepare to spend the day in quiet peaceful contemplation. For young ones needing to run and explore, you shouldn't miss an afternoon at the Chicago Children's museum .The Museum has three floors of interactive exhibits sure to keep those busy hands occupied. Also there is the planetarium, Museum and science and industry and a few more. Also check out the shedaquirium.



Medieval Times also could be good to go out with your family and have a great time. If you like roller coaster, ECT. Check out six flags great America.



If you like animals, The Chicago land area has two zoos. The Brookfield Zoo, which is my favorite, and the Lincoln Park zoo. Lincoln Park zoo is free and more near downtown.



Check out the blue man group at the briar street theatre, the sox are home that weekend, go to Chinatown.



Finally a great place would be Navy Pier. You can go on a nice Ferris wheel, go on a cruise, such as the odyssey or majestic blue, or you can go on a fast speed boat known as the Sea Dawg. There is also An IMAX theatre there, and I believe the movie 300 will still be playing.



Hoped I helped you out

~Fein
I have been to Gino's it's not bad but there is one pizza that I love more and I know you will like it 2 called Giordano's you can visit their web: http://www.giordanos.com/

You can see a lot on Michigan Avenue (Magnificent Mile)Thing To Do and See In Chicago?
Check out www.metromix.com. Site lists tons of things to do in Chicago. Search in the following areas......



If you're staying downtown....Grant Park, Loop, Greektown, River West, Cold Coast, Lincoln Park.



If you don't mind a 10 - 15 minute cab ride......West Loop, Bucktown, Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville,.



For pizza go to Gino's and wait. It's worth it.
Gino's East is great, but there's also Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, and the original, Pizzeria Uno. All deep dish pizzas take ~45min to an hour. The wait for a table depends on when you go. At dinner time, yes, but if you go mid-afternoon you can usually be seated right away.



As far as things to do, that particular weekend is Artropolis at the Merchandise Mart. It's 5 art fairs in one location (and the Mart's two blocks from a Lou Malnati's and 4 from Gino's East).



Other things to do include exploring Millennium Park, the Museum Campus (Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Field Museum), and Navy Pier. You can shop up and down Michigan Ave or State St.



If you want to take a tour there are SEVERAL options. A Segway tour takes 2 - 3 hours and gives you a good overview of downtown and the lakefront (plus they're cool to ride). Most of the boat tours don't start until mid-May, but there are some open at the end of April. There are walking tours by the Chicago Architectural Foundation, or you can be led by a volunteer with the free Chicago Greeter program.



I also recommend visiting the Signature Lounge in the Hancock Building. It's a floor above the observatory, so you get the view and can also get something to eat/drink.Thing To Do and See In Chicago?
Grab a burger at Billy Goat's (Sat. Night Live fame)

Dinner at Gino's East, worth the wait.

Living in Indiana and commuting and working in Chicago... what is it like?

The corner of Washington and Sangamon streets is the West Loop, and is a fast-developing area. Lots of people moving in, and the surrounding area is generally safe. Actually, there are some CTA trains relatively nearby, including the Green Line's Clinton Station and the Brown Line's Quincy Station. Also, Union Station (where several of the Metra trains end up, though not the South Shore Line) is nearby.



The South Shore line is indeed busy during rush hour, but not terrible. And, once you get to Millenium Station, getting anywhere from there, including the west loop, is easy, and the surrounding area is both busy and safe.



The bus system is pretty reliable. There's a problem with "bus bunching" - several buses come at once, and then there's none for ten minutes - but in the Loop it's pretty frequent. If all else a cab ride from Millenium Park to the West Loop is less than $5.



Don't be intimidated by Chicago. Everyone thinks of it as this big, confusing, unsafe city, but it's surprisingly easy to get around, it's a gigantic grid, and is increasingly safe. You'll love it.
Thanks. I'm glad to hear that it's developing and most likely safer than I thought.

Living in Indiana and commuting and working in Chicago... what is it like?
In response to manofthestreet1: Merrillville and other cities in Indiana are technically defined as being part of the region. Not only is the NW section of Indiana on a different time zone than the rest of the state to be in sync with Chicago, 15% of Indiana workers commute to and work in Chicago.

just go with the flow i work for a delivery comp. in wv and i go to east chicago alot and it does get busy around rush hour but just stay with the flow and you will be alright after you do it a couple of timesLiving in Indiana and commuting and working in Chicago... what is it like?
So what time would you have to be at the office? I'm assuming 9 a.m. So figure out how soon you would have to get up to drive to the train station, figure out how long the train takes to get to Chicago, then figure out how long it will take to ride the bus from the train station to work. Sounds like a big pain in the azz to me. You'd probably have to leave home at 6 a.m. every day just to get here by 9 a.m. And then there's the long trip home (bus, train, car again). I'd be wore out after a week. And Merrillville is NOT part of the "greater Chicagoland region" whatever that is. It's in INDIANA, so it's part of INDIANA. That's like saying that Milwaukee is part of the "greater Chicagoland region". In fact, it sounds like it's easier to get to Chicago from Milwaukee (one 40 minute) train than it is to get to Chicago from Merillville. Wow, this must be one kick azz job...good luck with that. I'd just move here if I were you. A lot easier and less time consuming.

Oh, and a cab ride from Millenium Park to the West Loop is NOT less than $5. I WISH!!! It's about $8 (without tip) and since you'd be riding a cab during rush hour both in the morning to get to work and after work to get to the train station, tack another $5 or so onto that amount just for the time you'll be sitting in traffic while trying to get through the Loop

    5 main things:



    1. Michigan Avenue shopping

    2. Architectural Boat Tour (awesome views of the city and

    you learn a lot about the buildings).

    3. ANY Museum (Art Institute, Field Museum, Museum of

    Science and Industry which is my personal fave.)

    4. Millenium Park - you have to see the big Bean!

    5. Lake Shore Drive - walk along it, drive along it, but it is a

    must!!

    If I can add one more 6. Chicago style pizza! Lou Malnati's is my fave, Gino's is pretty great and Giordano's is pretty amazing too.





    Tips:



    1. The Aquarium is nice and fun, but I would make that the

    last on the list if that's something you are interested in...not

    really something that is a chicago only thing...aquariums

    are everywhere.

    2. ANY hotel in downtown Chicago is close to everything.

    Cabs, trains, buses, and walking will get you anywhere

    you need to go.

    3. If you get a chance venture outside of hustle and bustle of

    the touristy stuff. Go to Lincoln Park and walk around,

    there is a free zoo there called the lincoln park zoo.

    What is true Chicago Pizza? Deep dish or thin crust?

    On travel channel type shows they always refer to Chicago Pizza as deep dish like Lou Malnottis or Gino's East.



    I personally have always thought of Chicago pizza as being think crust, paper thin crust that is. Traversos in my opinoin has true Chicago pizza, good ingredients and paper thin crust. I can't stand Lou Malonittis or Gino's East.



    What do you think? Why do many people think pan pizza is Chicago Pizza? In my opinoin Lou Malnottis and Gino's East are like tourist Chicago PizzaWhat is true Chicago Pizza? Deep dish or thin crust?
    Gino's East and Lou Malnati pizzas are direct copies of the place where both worked and later replicated the menu.



    The original place is still there but a chain took over and their pies can be tasted in several states.



    Pizzeria Uno is the original. The deep dish style was created over 60 years ago. This is known as "Chicago Style" pizza.



    Many places offer thin crust, double crust, stuffed, and deep dish styles...all different so it can be confusing.



    The real "Chicago Style" is also made differently than a conventional pizza. The dough is spread on the pan and up the sides and then cheese slices are placed as the first layer. This is followed by tomato sauce and then the toppings. If sausage or another meat is used, a thick complete layer is applied, not a few pieces scattered about. The cooking time is about double that of a thin pizza because of the inverted style and number of ingredients.



    Thin crust style is what you find in New York. It is the same as what you will find in Naples, Italy....where it all started.
    chicago pizza is deep dish.What is true Chicago Pizza? Deep dish or thin crust?
    Chicago style pizza is slow cooked deep dish pizza with the red sauce as the top layer.



    Thin crust is not a chicago native.



    Although you think Lou's and Gino's is tourist... they are in fact real traditional and damn good tasty Chicago Style.
    DEEP DISH. a nice THICK buttery crust. A layer of cheese and HAND formed sausage. And then topped with CHUNKY TOMATO SAUCE. MMMMMM MMMMM now thats a CHICAGO style pizza.What is true Chicago Pizza? Deep dish or thin crust?
    Deep Dish is Chicago Style Pizza.



    Thin Crust is NYC Style Pizza
