My Chicago Hot Spots
Written by Greg Olsen, Tuesday May 12 2009
I’ve been having a great time in Chicago lately.
I went to the Bulls playoff games against the Celtics. The last one here went into triple overtime, that was awesome.
I also went to a BlackHawks game against Vancouver in the playoffs and shot the puck during the second intermission. They put a big board with a small hole in the middle in front of the goal and give you three shots from center ice. It was hard, I hit the board all three times but didn’t score.
They gave me an authentic BlackHawks jersey with my name and No. 82 on the back and that was pretty cool.
So I thought I would make a list of five of my favorite places to hang out in Chicago:
1) Joe’s Bar. They have a lot of live country acts.
2) Japonais. One of my favorite restaurants.
3) Sunza. Might be my new favorite spot. All different types of Asian food.
4) Hub 51. A restaurant with a club downstairs.
5) Bob Chinn’s. A well-known place to get great food, out near where I live.
As you can tell, eating is something I’m pretty good at.
Meanwhile we’ve been going through our off-season conditioning program. Everything’s been good.
In the draft I think we brought in a couple of young receivers who can help and some guys that will really provide some depth. Hopefully they can come in and help right away.
We gave up some of our draft in the Jay Cutler trade so you have to consider that when you look over our draft picks. I’ve been able to throw the ball around with Jay twice a week for the last five weeks now and everything is going well.

Mr. Olsen, I hope you catch at least one touchdown from Mr. Cutler every week, and I am a Texans' fan. He deserves a solid shot, which I think he will get there, and I want to see him and the Bears succeed. Denver is all but dead to me now because of how they dealt Shanahan and Cutler a load of....
