Tue Jan 06 10:02:23 -0800 2009 4300624 131001 c oliver 2 4300865 I only know of it being broadcast in Chicago on the local PBS Station channel 11. Their call letters are WTTW. Maybe you can access the episode on-line? Good luck!

My experience with the restaurant he reviewed is that it is generally crowded with a wait to be seated, somewhat noisy but the food is usually pretty good.

This got erased from my DVR before I got a chance to watch it. Unfortunately, the restaurant in question is closing, before I even tried it! http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-dixie-kitchen-city-zone-29-may29,0,7963473.story Mon Jun 01 19:06:35 -0700 2009 4729492 41864 optimal forager
