My Mother and I had a yearly excursion to Field's to shop for Christmas and always ate at the Walnut Room. I've tried a few recipes claiming to be the original... but this is it. I usually ended up with a new dress for Church too. Thank you.

You'd agree to meet someone "under the clock", since it was such a landmark. The whole store was like Disneyland for adults.

I have so many great memories of my Mom taking me along as she shopped the many floors of Marshall Field & Company (not Marshall Field's - there's a HUGE distinction). The sales staff there even made ME feel important as my Mother was buying dresses, hats, home decor and then lunching in the Walnut Room before catching the El to head home to Jefferson Park. The original MF&Co is legendary.

But what I really loved was spending time in the Chrystal department and fantasizing. So many beautiful things - Steuben, Lalique, etc. Just wonderful.
