I’ve been thinking of hosting an Illinois gathering with people of this site and others smiley

Would anyone be interested in all that? Cities I’m looking at are either Chicago, Bloomington, Peoria, or even Springfield!!

Ideas could be a cookout, a restaurant gathering, clubbing, heading to a bar, anything!!

I think something in the Central part of the state might be good. Springfield, BloNo... I know Chicago has more options, but it's a pain to drive in and harder to get to for folks not in Northern IL.

I think, of the two, BloNo might be somewhat better as they are a college town, and, as such, they bring in a lot of students from around the globe that influence a wider variety of cuisine options.

100% Can confirm the quality of some of Springfield's restaurants, but I am a bit biased lol. Bloomington-Normal sits as a near perfect halfway point for anyone coming from either St. Louis or Chicago. Plus, I-74 cuts right through it for anybody travelling from the East and the North West. It should be a pretty painless drive for just about anybody in the State

It would be a bit of a drive from the Deep South, but my wife and I would love it :-) We’re really wanting to be around more like-minded people for good eats, showing off clothes that show off our bellies and just having a good time with other gainers.
