Inspired by recent spontaneous foodblogs by @Kerry Beal and @rarerollingobject (among others), I decided to document here my long weekend in Chicago.
It's my first time here. I started with something familiar - Eataly is just around the corner from the place I am staying at downtown, and I had loved that place in NYC. It's on two levels and about the same size as the other one.
It was early (a little after 11) so the place was very quiet.
Lunch at the counter overlooking the charcuterie station.
Meat platter with a glass of Montanaro vermouth di Torino & soda.
Fluke crudo with rhubarb agrodolce, fritto misto, gamberi fritti. Glass of rosé.
