Like everything that Kanye West does, we are confused. We figured when West made the jump from splitting the buffet at KFC with his girlfriend to becoming a rap star, he would eat exclusively at restaurants with mad lightening systems and model waitresses. But where do his pals (rappers Common and Lupe Fiasco) take him for his birthday in Chicago? Buca Di Beppo! You know, the River North tourist trap with the kitschy Italian themed rooms and excessive portions. Is this ironic? Does this make him oddly cooler? We are stumped. We expect to next hear that Lady Gaga really likes Chili’s. [312 Dining Diva]
