YEAH, IT'S A STEAKHOUSE! 9 Steakhouse, Chicago

440 W Randolph St (Canal Street), Chicago, IL 60606, (312) 575-9900 website

Ghost Bar and downstairs restaurant N9NE have made a big splash among club connoisseurs, drawing semi-famous crowds from all over the country. Mostly successful, mostly beautiful young things strut their stuff--more than a few Jennifer Lopez look-alikes dot the crowd. Frosted glass walls surround this upstairs lounge, which houses a curved silver bar backlit with a green glow, giving the room an eerie feel. Egg-shaped chairs at the bar lend a mod note, while low chairs and couches in acid green add color. Silver accents, like the metallic beaded curtain separating the bathrooms from the bar, complete the picture.

Bud Men beware, there's little room for you here. Most everyone has a martini glass full of top-shelf concoctions like the dangerously addictive white chocolate raspberry martini that delights your taste buds but, at $9 a pop, empties your wallet. Review Courtesy of at Citysearch

THE THREE BEST SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS OF 2010

This year, the Super Bowl commercials were a bit less glamorous and over the top than usual. But that is to be expected in light of the current economy. Most ads were only modestly funny and in most cases were message oriented rather than creative works of fancy. I think most if not all will continue to be used long after the Super bowl. Of all of these ads, here is my pick of the best 3 spots.

1. Kia Sorento - Joy Ride:

This, to me was by far the best spot out there. Funny, compelling, stylish, and well produce. Yeah it has a bit of the "Hangover" in it, but it was very well executed. The idea of using the toys was ingenious and the accompanying music was well chosen. Oh, and the car isn't too shabby either. WATCH IT HERE

2. Audi - The Green Police:

A timely message wrapped in a funny way, while at the same time espousing the virtues of the product. Well done I say. I think this was the most over the top of all spots, but yet still manages to deliver a strong case for the car. I thought it was really funny, especially when the folks started running from the green police. WATCH IT HERE

Audi has a nifty facebook page dedicated to the Green police with more spots and info.

3. E-trade - Girlfriend/Milkaholic

: I'll be honest, I've never really been a fan of the talking baby as I thought it was too gimmicky. To a degree, it still is. But this spot is extremely funny and the final line in the commercial by the baby is going to be an instant classic. So I'll be the first: "Milkawhaaaaat?" WATCH IT HERE
