"My friend and I made Rex our first stop on our first trip to Chicago. Had a Uber from the airport, baggage and everything because we had to know what it was about in the hype! We decided to do so very gladly. The family that leads the place is very friendly. I had read that the Momma will hand out samples while you wait to order; I thought there was no way she did. If so, that would be great. But who really has this level of hospitality today? Especially after the last two years and personally as someone working in the food and beverage industry, know how difficult things are and remain. This industry is a work of love; if you do not contradict, spend too much time in chains and not enough time to support local businesses. I am always grateful to support people who work hard every day to do what they love and share with others. I felt this. The son spoke to us for a while and was real and friendly. We shared a good laugh. He thanked us and asked for our picture. It is nice for me that even after being introduced on TV, he was still amazed and apparently honored that people literally get out of the plane and make it a point to support the business. Anyway, for dinner, we have pasta fazul soup, one side of the hot Giardiniera, a meatball Sub (one), and a grilled chicken caprese Panini (mine). I also have an additional page of the Pesto Mayo because the stuff was amazing. The goal was to share these things. I ate most soups, and I didn't really want to share my panini as it was delicious. Thank you for your hospitality as you were our first stage of the trip! I will send everything I can, and I wish the best for you and yours"
