Topolobampo (Mexican restaurant), Chicago - Obama's favorite restaurant

Heard on NPR that Barack Obama likes Topolobampo when in Chicago. His favorite dish is Sopa Azteca.

    And my mom heard on the radio that the Obamas ate at Spiaggia for their anniversary. Maybe they just like good food ;)

      Hmmm...my post disappeared :/

      Last time he was in Chicago, I remember that the local news reported that he ate at his favorite Chicago restaurant . It was Roy's Hawaiian Fusion.

        I think I remember him saying that Calypso Cafe, in Hyde Park, where he lives, was his favorite.

        I thought I remembered seeing something that said it was closing, but I'm pretty sure it's still open.
