"Last Saturday four of us went to Ditka 's in Oakbrook Illinois to celebrate a birthday. Let me backtrack, our friend Madelyn always said that she would die before her 68th birthday because both her parents and grandparents died before that age; she exclaimed that it was in her genes ! So, on the day after her 68th birthday we went to Ditka 's and had one of the best times we 've ever experience. There were only four of us but the only seating available was a table for 7 so they offered that to us and it was a good thing. We started with **** Mary 's, then Mike 's salad and Coach 's Pot Roast Nachos and finished with The Fridge Burger! Yes, we really needed that big table and had lots of leftovers. Although the restaurant was crowded we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. Our server, Amelia, helped with food selections but also had a special birthday surprise for Madelyn. The gentleman who seated us, possibly the manager, Tony stopped by multiple times to make sure that we were being well taken care of . Tony and Amelia made our not-a-funeral lunch unforgettable. Please thank them for us and thank Ditka 's for hiring the best chefs, and staff ! Sandy Abbinanti"
