Really get grubhub to start taking bitcoins. They would be an ideal service to suggest this to. I use them all the time.

Grubhub may be a large fish to catch.

I'll try, but I think I'll get my feet wet with smaller local service providers such as "Food Fetchers" or "Deliver me food"

I am in in Chicago frequently. I would stop by any establishment that accepted bitcoins.

Thank you, DBordello, for your support and FTC. You're now on the list in the OP.

The list in the OP needs to be a little bit more impressive to help influence restaurants and other entities in and around Chicago into accepting Bitcoin.

I am in the suburbs of Chicago, and fairly new to bitcoins myself. If you were to get a good restaurant/bar/store to accept bitcoins in Chicago I am sure I would make a trek there to give it a try.

And this, my friends, is how we FTC (Force the Chicken)! Thank you kindly, squirrelman, for your support. You're officially on the list.

How many bitcoiners are in Chicago? It's kinda useless for restaurants to accept bitcoin if nobody uses bitcoin.

Maybe somebody should start a money exchange business in Chicago so that people can become bitcoin users more easily.

I'm forcing the chicken. (or is that forcing the egg?)

Looks like St. Louis is already sort of there: http://www.thebitcointrader.com/2012/02/spend-your-bitcoins-at-16-st-louis.html

Plus, GrubGo is working on expanding into Chicago according to the article.

Yes, I will be leveraging off of this "competitor" to try to convince Cleveland Market food service deliverers to start accepting bitcoin.

It should be convenient since people probably place orders over the phone/internet.

This is huge! (I normally don't use that phrase)

I can easily use this site as part of my visualization techniques, coupled with the Secret Weapon, in obtaining further fine dining establishments in and around Chicago.

Damn! Now I'm hungry and need a drink: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/and-a-satoshi-for-the-lady-63712

I'm in Chicago about once a month, so add me.

My office for my retail business is also in Chicago so I'll have all my warehouse and office staff order from Bitcoin restaurants.

Shit! I've got another idea. What would a mixed drink called a Satoshi consist of?

It must be opaque; one must not be able to see through it to try to understand what makes it up. Many shall try, but none shall succeed.

Perhaps the drink contains some triple-sec because the Bitcoin logo resembles an orange?

hmm

How can we make a drink Satoshi likes if we don't now anything about him!? I'm having a difficult enough time trying to think of computer / alcohol puns.

I've only been to Chicago once in my life, since I live on the other side of the Atlantic, but when and if I go there again, I will definately go where I can use my BTC ! Cheesy

Keep up the good work !

What side of town are you planning of staying in, kjlimo? And what if we dyed the Chicago River orange this year. Orange beer?

Shit! I've got another idea. What would a mixed drink called a Satoshi consist of? Now this idea has legs, albeit week ones after a couple belts.

~Bruno~

I'll be staying in lincoln park. I will be visiting the dying of the river as well.

I will try to inspire as much discussion around a Satoshi mixed drink that I can!
