A Chicago native, I sometimes think I am missing something by having moved to Milwaukee.
My friend used to justify the existence of cities by saying, "We need cities to perpetuate the myth of mental illness."
I never quite understood that remark until we dined at Tru.

1) Wait staff are very nice, friendly and professional.
2) Ambiance is not unlike a high school gymnasium before it is decorated for the prom.
3) Food? Where the heck is the salt shaker?
4) If you cannot afford nice plates and silverware, maybe you shouldn't use so damn many, and save on your water bills.

Now I understand. Crazy behavior is considered "mental illness". In a city, you can get away with it.

Tru recalls the story, "The Emperor has no Clothes".

Sorry, call me old-fashioned. I like elegance and flavor. Not weird.
