Goose Chase
A curated guide to Chicago's finest venues based on Dante The Don's Barstool Sports article.
Project Overview
My wife is traveling to Chicago in September, and I discovered this comprehensive guide written by Dante The Don, a DJ who has been in Chicago forever. I wondered if I could use AI to turn that into a structured dataset, so I did that, and then used Cursor to turn it into a lightweight web interface.
The result is Goose Chase - an interactive web application that transforms Dante's extensive knowledge of Chicago's best venues into a searchable, filterable database with maps, photos, and detailed recommendations perfect for bachelor parties and visitors.
