Dan,
We go up to Chicago about twice a year. Once to see the granddaughters, once to visit friends. IB's are always on the menu, as well as pizza.
There's a place down towards Marietta where you can get a beef, but it's not quite the same (*sigh*). I've a friend who now lives in Los Angeles and he hasn't been able to find one there.
