Figo
(Left to Right) Bridget, Lingo, Tammy and Phil toast to an evening of suburban dining and good company. If only I could learn to keep my eyes open when the camera flash goes off. Grrr!
We ventured outside city limits to join fellow podcasters Phil and Lingo from The Brit and Yankee for dinner at Figo, a restaurant in St. Charles. Listen in to find out what we thought of the burbs, the sparkling company and the food.

I subscribed to your podcase today and was very excited to turn it on as soon as I got into your car. As a suburban foodie, I started off with your review of Figo. Just wanted to say that you are absolutely closed minded and clearly know nothing about suburban living. I used to be a city dweller - and guess what, whoopdie frickin do. Yeah, the city has better restaurant choices, but why act like the suburbs have proverbial cooties? That is just classless and alientating to your suburban listeners. No matter, I am a listener no more. Besides, your review was really not that awe inspiring anyway. It was clear from listening that I know far more about food than the two of you combined.
