Burnin' Down the House in Chicago, Pakistani Osso Bucco-Style
Thanks, Michael. I live blocks from here but can't believe I've not had this. I'll rectify it soon. And for other Chicagoans, my favorite restaraunt is actually Bahbi's Kitchen on Leavitt a little south of Devon. Mr. Syed and Bahbi are amazing people who produce some amazing dishes made with less ghee than others in the area.
Iberico Ham That You Can Drink at Chicago's Nacional 27
I finally have a reason to go to Nacional 27.
And I agree that Chicago is too cocktail challenged.
Grocery Store Eggs Vs. Public Market Eggs
Having lived on a farm and raised chickens I have to say that the color of the yolk can be deceptive. Our chickens had a house with nests, but then they had a rather large yard that was fenced in that they could roam freely in and they did, unless they were brooding (waiting for their eggs to hatch). During the winter we fed them more corn than we did during the summer and consequently during the winter their eggs were much more yellow than they were during the summer. So color of yolk is irrelevant, but the taste difference is what you'll notice. And free range for one farm may be different than free range for another. Freshness and pasteurization also play a role in flavor.

I've been wondering when they'd resume food coverage. Since I only get to visit about once a year, I'd relied on The T-P's coverage to figure out where I should best eat the 14 or so meals I get every year in New Orleans. I'm glad to have Anderson's tastes buds back as a point of reference.
