a bender, chicago style

when you work too damn much, and haven't had time to cook, and find yourself alone on a Friday night without enough energy to actually go out and do something fun, this is what happens: a quick drive to Goose Island Shrimp House, and an evening in front of the TV with fried seafood, hot sauce and spicy chips.

The breading is thick and crunchy -- they clearly bread and fry to order, given the wait time and the quality of the crunch -- but the shrimps aren't really all that. Not really fresh enough in my opinion. The oysters, though, are winners, huge & briny & hot, very yum.
