The thought was in the back of my mind when posting it.

Waiting for someone to find the manufacturer and organize a mass order.....

Any news of Buffett coming to visit his restaurant during his Chicago show times?

I'm not really sure if he's even been there at all since the place opened two weeks ago.
As to whether he shows up while the band is in town, obviously, it's anybody's guess. The hotel the band stays at (Ritz Carlton) is just a few blocks away, so it very possibly could happen.

Check page 6 for a picture of him hanging out there the night before Alpine.

I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but if you live in the Chicago area and stop in, ask them about the "local" card in the merch shop. They have a "local VIP" card in Nashville and it gets me 15% off food and merch. It's not a lot, but it saves me a something.

As of last week, they did not have it available when asked at the restaurant. Not sure if that meant 'not yet' or 'not at all'.

I was told they might not do the local card when I was at the restaurant. The girl said its not a regular Magaritaville. However I think since its new they don't know do everything yet and things take time to come in...

Call me odd man out, but our experience was horrible. They took forever to take our order, and even longer to get us our order. Other tables were getting there's before us. My keets (6&2) were very patient luckily. Atleast they could have rushed out their meals. When the meal finally came, mine was wrong.

All told it was over 2 hours we were INSIDE (waiting to order, then waiting for the order, then waiting to pay for the order) the restaurant and 30 minutes outside waiting. That's just too dang long. I knew it was small (I ate there before it became Margaritaville), but that doesn't account for the long, and poor service.
