A wrecking ball was looming in the future. Fate, in the form of imaginative developers, stepped to repurpose the building into what is now Del Frisco's.

A new place in Chicago is BoHo or Bohemian House. The name conjures ups visions from the movie Moulin Rouge, the musical Rent, or the opera La Boheme which the previous two so liberally borrowed. Like most folks, I think of gypsies and starving artists so the thought of a restaurant had me intrigued.

Haven't you trampled down the Champs Elysees enough? Dined on enough Spanish tapas till you puke tuna? Want something exotic? How about Egypt? Not exactly the camel riding type?
