I know it's not a mecca for foodies, but if you've been recently, where would you recommend - or avoid? It's just my husband and me, no kids. We're staying in the park, and will not have access to a car.
Thanks in advance!
Again, thank you all for your help! We now have reservations for dinner at Spoodles, Restaurant Marrakesh, Brown Derby and Boma.
The Golden Northern Cornbread from ATK's The New Best Recipe is just about perfect.

@jcrisco - We're going in a couple of weeks; no Dining Plan.
Our hope is to do several nice dinners over the five nights we are there, and on other days have a bigger lunch and something light for dinner.
Thanks for your help!

This thread is going to be so helpful; I'm going to be spending time in Chicago during the coming year! Thanks for all of the great suggestions!
It might be Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake (made with hot coffee instead of boiling water), frosted with the companion Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Frosting, which is fudgy and delicious.
I'm another big fan of Cook's Illustrated and, like previous posters, I also enjoy Cook's Country, despite it being CI's country cousin (all puns intended). I like Cooking Light, as well.
How do I NOT indulge in chocolate might be a better question, in my case.
Godiva Dark Chocolate Truffle hot chocolate is a favorite, but brownies, chocolate cake, Oreo truffles, even a Hershey bar with almonds...
Though in most ways I'm much more a CI gal than a Gourmet gal, I will admit that I do tend to want to prepare the feast by myself. I start days ahead of time, with the cranberry sauce, and am usually whipped into a frenzy just before the meal goes on the table!
If my guests insist on bringing something, I usually request hors d'oeuvres or desserts. Don't get me wrong, I love to bake - it's how I got into cooking in the first place - but if I start asking for side dishes, I have to figure out how they're going to be reheated, etc. I'd rather orchestrate dinner myself.
Lovely to see this article. I'm a devoted fan of ATK and CI - I refer to The New Best Recipe as my "cooking Bible." And hey, if he doesn't care for green beans, all the more for me! (He can have my share of Brussels sprouts.)

I have to admit, mine is the best I've eaten. I just use a yellow cornbread mix (usually Martha White), add Pace's Picante Sauce, grated cheddar cheese and whole kernal corn. Extra cheese goes on top. Yuuummmy! For restaurant cornbread, it has to be Mama's Daughter's Diner in Lewisville, Texas.
I had the most amazing cornbread at Marie Callendar's restaurant in Oklahoma City.
Jiffy Mix made in a preheated cast iron skillet, greased with some bacon drippings. I love the crusty brown portion! Gotta eat it with real BUTTER! Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
My favorite cornbread was my mother's. She started it in a cast iron skillet over a flame then finished it in the oven. Sometimes she added cracklins. Awesome!
My favorite was my mother's homemade cornbread. She's gone now...sure wish I'd gotten her recipe.
I always use the cornbread recipe from the Fanny Farmer cookbook.
Both my husband and I love corn bread, this looks like a great book, it's the first I have heard of it. Oh and of course I make it the best!
