The 48 hour guy sparked my
Post. Got in Friday night, on the way to the airport as i type this. Breakfast was in the hotel every morning, nothing special.
Friday night, cab dropped us off at the wrong place. Was looking for Professor Pizza and he put us in front of Recess. We were very hungry so we didn’t fight it. Buffalo chicken wraps. Kinda like an egg roll type thing. Greasy good.
From there we went to Coalfired on the recommendation of the chef at Recess. Had meatballs in sauce and pepperoni with whipped ricotta pie. Very good all around. Crust was awesome from the coal fires oven. Little floppy but good to fold and smash.
Lunch was a Chicago dog 2 ways at Chicago Brewhouse on the river walk. Half was a classic style Chicago dog and half was a polish dog with carmalized onions.
Dinner was at Bazaar Meats. Philly cheesesteak bite was great. Filled with a cheese sauce and wagyu ribeye on top. Shrimp cocktail with piquadillo pepper cocktail sauce. Caprese salad riff, with ‘liquid’ mozzarella balls. Kinda popped in your mouth when you bit. Carrot side dish with a carrot gastric and carrot tops. Wildly good. Then a ‘Chicago cut’ steak cooked over coals. Very good flavor and cooked to perfection. Very similar to a porterhouse.
Sunday dinner was at Frontera. Albacore ceviche, mole tamale with handmade ricotta, shishido peppers and oaxacan ribeye carne asada. Home made tortillas and 2 types of salsa sent it home. 10/10.
Farewell meal was Al’s beef. Wet, with provolone and hot giardinera. Killer.
Great town, will be back.
