The Chef: Chicago

I was in Chicago on business for 3 days and heard all about the restaurants The Girl And The Goat and Xoco.
Xoco - barely had time for lunch, but had just enough time to try the suckling pig torta. Outstanding! Also grabbed a minted iced chocolate for my walk back to meet a coworker and head to work. It was downright unforgettable.
The Girl And The Goat -I was there with some fellow industry people. The three of us literally had enough food on the table for six to ten people. All I can say is wow, Chef Stephanie can cook and is truly deserving of all of her accolades! The menu was quite varied and we sampled 20 of her small plates. (It's a menu of all small plates.)  Not a clinker in the bunch and we're still talking about how amazing some of them were: Lamb Tartar, Escargot Ravioli, Octopus, Goat Empanadas... Next time you're in Chicago, it is truly a must eat at spot!!!

Live To Eat, Love To Drink!
