    THAT’S A WRAP The Gage’s fish-and-chips wrapper may be the best use for newspaper since package filler.

    Attempting to accommodate both whiskey-swigging bar-huggers and haute-cuisine enthusiasts in the pages of one menu is madness. Doubly so when attempting to do it from a Michigan Avenue address. It’s no wonder it took a couple of nutty Irishmen—that would be Billy and William Lawless, the father-and-son team behind the Grafton (which they no longer own) and Irish Oak—to pull it off. Running the gamut from a fanciful smoked-haddock cake dressed with a delicate crème fraîche to the requisite parcel of newspaper-wrapped fish and chips, the inventive menu ups the ante on Irish fare. 24 S Michigan Ave, 312-372-4243.

      Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now. What are you folks thinking?
