Bill "The BBQ Guy" C.'s Profile

Palmer Park is my "Go To" park that I frequent on a daily basis.  I go here for runs with my dog, casual walks with my wife or hang out here in the shade and catch up on my reading.

I definitely recommend that you check it out.

When I was in New Jersey for a few days for work, I received a recommendation from a coworker to check out Jordan to have him stretch out and massage my mid back which was really tight.

After an hour with Jordan, I was amazed at how much he was able to help me out.  Seriously, this was the best (Thai) massage I have ever had.  He knows how to stretch and pull your muscles to relieve pain and tension in a non-painful way.  Jordan was able to stretch out my back in 1 hour and achieve better results than 1 year of chiropractic and massage care.

My only gripe is that he doesn't work closer to my home in Chicago.  :-(

I will definitely be calling you again the next time I'm out in New Jersey.

As an owner of an interior design firm in Chicago (Design Inside) I have recommended Larry from LMS Painting to many of my clients.  Every time I hand over Larry's contact information to a customer, I know they will be in great hands.

LMS painting does a great job at painting, their turn-around time is amazing and their pricing is very reasonable.  Larry and his son are also 2 of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

Whenever I follow up with a client after the painting portion of their project is complete, they always are amazed by the level of service and quality of work that LMS Painting provided.

My wife and I stopped by here the other night, and I was surprised by the quality of food and level of service.  We had the Duck and the Gnocchi and both dishes were extremely tasty.

The prices were also reasonable ($20 - $30 for most plates) for this quality of food.  I will definitely check it out again next time I'm downtown and need a nice place to go.

Over the past few months of working with Derek, he has really helped me to re-examine my life and figure out what my core values are.  Once we determined my core values, he helped me figure out how to get past the daily distractions and focus on the critical tasks that I need to complete in order to be successful professionally and personally.

What I really loved about Derek's coaching technique was that he was a great listener that would listen intently on how I was feeling about a particular topic.  Then, he would circle back and confirm what he heard from me.  This process was great because it made me realize that many of the weaknesses I thought I had, were not actually weaknesses anymore.  I also appreciated how he would call me out on somehting if I wasn't being firm in taking the appropriate action to change a behavior.  This tactic has made me realize the power my own words have over my actions.

I really enjoyed my time working with Derek and would not hesitate for a second to recommend his services to other professionals that are in need of coaching.

I've spent way too much time here since Revolution Brewery has opened.  Their beer is amazing, the food is tasty and the service is pretty good
(assuming you don't go when it is wall-to-wall people).

If you go, definitely try out the beers and get the bacon fat popcorn, you won't be disappointed.

I love....love....love this place.  Best BBQ in town in my opinion.  The pulled pork sandwich is great.  Portions are generous and the price is reasonable.  The best part is after eating at Fat Willy's, you can go across the street to the Ghetto Plex and catch a movie.

When I came to Julie a month or so ago, I was in a bind.  My previous accountant (who was handling my payroll) fell off the face of the earth and now I had to figure everything out on my own, while keeping my business running.

Julie was awesome and bent over backwards to help me figure out this mess, in addition to uncovering other things that my previous accountant failed to tell me that I need to do.

If you need help with basic accounting or if you are a small business owner that needs some extra help, go talk to Julie.

I went back to Brand the other day for lunch and I was pleased to see that most of my suggestions were taken.  Holy cow, what a difference!  

I love the bottles of sauce, much more impressive than the little plastic cups of sauce.  I found myself (and others at my table) sampling the BBQ sauces like a fine wine.  What a treat.  

Then my meal came and it was generous portions for about the same price as the first time I visited (nearly a year ago).  I went away stuffed and felt like I ate too much, just as one should when eating BBQ!

Great job Brand, I'll definitely be back again for lunch or dinner.

I love Cafe Mustache, great coffee, the employees are great, internet is fast, plenty of outlets and I love the wide variety of music.  It's a great place to meet with friends and get a little work done.

PS: Get the Mocha if you are there, it's one of the best in the city.
