CHICAGO: Indians second basemen Jason Kipnis has a carefully regimented food plan when visiting Chicago.
A Chicago native who lives downtown during the offseason, Kipnis gets to make three trips a season to play the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. And each trip always includes a stop at some favorite Chicago-based eateries.
There’s a pizza place, of course, that being Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria. Then there’s Portillo’s, an American-style burger and hot dog joint. And finally, a breakfast place, Sarks in the Park.
It’s all part of a schedule — by now more of a routine — that also includes being able to see friends and family.
