When I was single I had friends who ran an awesome tapas bar in Indy.
I ate there almost every night. I blew thousand there over the years,
as the food was incredible, and I was comped wonderous drinks and
desserts. I just figured I could afford it, I loved the food, so why
not?

They have since moved to Chicago and are on their second restaurant.
It's probably a good thing I don't live in Chicago...
