Mercat A La Planxa

Mercat A La Planxa has some great dishes, and we found everything out of the kitchen to be well-prepared and again, proportioned for more than two people. We ordered eight dishes and that was too many. We could have stopped… Continue Reading →

Blackbird Flies

We continue our Chicago saga with one of Chef Paul Kahan’s popular restaurants and we choose from a short-list of three: Avec, The Publican, and Blackbird. At one point during scheduling this trip, I had all of them in, but… Continue Reading →
