Chicken Mole @ Aguamíel
Maybe I didn’t understand the grilled chicken in mole verde @Aguamiel_IL (Clarendon Hills). So smoky, it almost tasted like ham. AGUAMÍEL: 30 S PROSPECT, CLARENDON HILLS, 630-537-1996
Churros @ Aguamíel
The churros @Aguamiel_IL (Clarendon Hills) were sugary, crispy, greasy, and eminently edible—especially when dipped in fresh whipped cream. AGUAMÍEL: 30 S PROSPECT, CLARENDON HILLS, 630-537-1966
Bacon & Almonds @ Glunz Tavern
In this age of every-which-way pork, the smoky, crunchy, bacony almonds @GlunzTavern rise to the top of my snack-food list. GLUNZ TAVERN: 1202 N WELLS, 312-642-3001
Warm Pretzel @ Glunz Tavern
I really should have had a beer with this big warm salty pretzel served with sharp Düsseldorf mustard @GlunzTavern. GLUNZ TAVERN: 1202 N WELLS, 312-642-3001
Weiner Schnitzel @ Glunz Tavern
@pennypollack: It’s not the Golden Ox, but schnitzel and spätzle @GlunzTavern brings back some fond memories. GLUNZ TAVERN: 1202 N WELLS, 312-642-3001
Almond Financiers @ The Boarding House
Warm and cozy almond financiers @BoardingHse have winter dessert written all over them. But more almond flavor, please. THE BOARDING HOUSE: 720 N. WELLS ST., 312-280-0720
Salmon @ The Boarding House
Salmon over polenta in blood orange beurre blanc @BoardingHse had so much potential. Overfussed? Overcooked? THE BOARDING HOUSE: 720 N. WELLS ST., 312-280-0720
Kampachi Crudo @ The Boarding House
I’ll eat almost anything with candied ginger, so imagine how much I enjoyed this delicate kampachi crudo @BoardingHse. THE BOARDING HOUSE: 720 N. WELLS ST., 312-280-0720
Crispy Cumin Cauliflower @ The Boarding House
@pennypollack: Crispy cumin cauliflower @BoardingHse comes with a sauce for every mood—pesto, mint yogurt, and, my fave, smoky paprika. THE BOARDING HOUSE: 720 N. WELLS ST., 312-280-0720
