May 4, 200718 yr Who walks in to eat...none other than Jim Thome. He was with what appeared to be a wife and daughter? Id say and was getting mobbed by the wait staff. I thought it was pretty interesting.
May 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 3, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) blandest food ever, but huge portions. I think, I'm not sure, but I think, the main part of the story was the Thome bit. Like I said, I think that was what the topic was really meant to be.

Anyway I was there twice...and enjoyed it both times. The portions are huge...not sure if they were big enough for Mr Incredible, but they're sure to satisfy everyone else. The wait sucks though.

Like I said, I think that was what the topic was really meant to be. Food distracts from all star gazing discussions. I grew up about 1/4 of a mile away from that place. Right off highland.

May 4, 200718 yr Author I really like the menu at Claim Jumper. My brother has worked at a Claim Jumper in California for like 5 years and every time I go out there I go there. The portions are enormous though.

May 9, 200718 yr I saw a Claim Jumper the other day out in the NW burbs. Hadn't heard of it before. I assumed it was an insurance attorney's office.
May 9, 200718 yr I went to Claim Jumpers over the weekend. The meatloaf was awesome. Their bar is pretty good as well. I will have to try capital grill.
