Tony Fitzpatrick's "Best Day Ever" in Chicago

Breakfast: Tweet/Big Chicks in Uptown "for the steak and eggs that are named after me."

Morning: "Humboldt Park to feed the geese and ducks and let the natural world wash over me and prepare me for the day."

Lunch: "Yuzu for sushi. I get dragon rolls, but also hamachi and toro with no rice. And since I can't eat soy sauce because it has too much sodium, I bring this stuff called Bragg Liquid Aminos."

Afternoon: "I like to work in my studio from about noon to 5:30pm."

Dinner: "I eat light with a salad or something at home. I stay under 2500 calories a day which is how I lost the weight."

Evening: "I usually read or watch Netflix or Amazon. Last year we watched stuff like 'The Queen's Gambit.' Episodic dramas on TV have just gotten so much better."

• Fitzpatrick also likes AMC's doll animated "Ultra City Smiths," made by Chicago filmmaker Steven Conrad.
• "I do three voices on the show. One is Ted Snarsky," Fitzpatrick says in a gruff voice. "He's the wrestling manager for Lady Andrea the Giant."

The inspiration for the voice: "Steve walks up to me and goes, 'I know there are a hundred little voices in your head, just pick one.' "
