Julie of 'Julie and Julia' Has an Adventure in Overservice

Where: 120 East Delaware Place [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60611

Ah, overservice — if you aren't creeped out by it, you can always laugh about it. Or blog about it, really. Or laugh at how hilarious your own jokes are as you're blogging about it. Not that we'd say that was a frequent occurrence on late Thursday afternoons at HC HQ or anything.

Alas, the world's current favorite food blogger-turned-author (turned mega-celeb now that her book became a soon-to-be-released Meryl Streep movie), Julie Powell of Julie and Julia fame experienced an overservice adventure of her very own — which she, of course, blogged about.

Powell had checked in to the Four Seasons Chicago and found this sorta-creepy, very personal bottle of water waiting for her. On What Could Happen, she writes:

I found this, along with a complimentary bottle of wine, last night when I arrived at my CORNER SUITE at the Four Seasons last night. Very nice, but so unnecessary as to seem a little creepy. Like I'm going to find out I'm in "The Prisoner" or something.

I did drink the wine though.

Hehe. Well, er, props to the Four Seasons Chicago for paying very close attention to detail, right? Well, those types of rooms start at $635 and go up from there — so we suppose they'd better be paying attention.
