C-House

[ulterior epicure]

Marcus Samuelsson opens C-House, a "Fish and Chops" restaurant in the boutique Affinia Hotel in Streeterville. It's got a 28th floor roof-top terrace.

I think I would have rolled my eyes with passing interest had it not been for a spectacular meal I recently had at Aquavit, his home office in New York. Now, I know haute Scandinavian in New York doesn't necessarily translate into seafood success in Chicago, but, I'd like to hope that Chicago is adding one more star to its food scene.

Has anyone been?

High-end Scandinavian did not work for him and Håkan Swahn in Minneapolis, of all places! But chops and fish (at least the chops) are a natural in Chicago.
