After the game, you’re a short drive away from Mike Ditka’s place, conveniently located on Mike Ditka Way, right off the Magnificent Mile. I have eaten there many times. Try the “Da CHOP.” It’s a giant, delicious pork chop named after the giant former Bears coach, Mike Ditka. (I’ve seen him there many times)
