/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Treated myself to Avec when I visited Chicago. Just a few courses of great, unpretentious food. Don't get me wrong though, Girl & the Goat was packed and had shitty seating and Alinea was fully booked.

I sat alone but since it was at the long bar I was seated next to two lovely ladies who I chatted with and we ended up sharing a couple plates. They took off to a show and left me with their truffle oil flatbread which was sweet.

They had a sea-salt and lemon gelato that was so good I wanted to cry.

All in all about $200 but that was the most I ever payed personally. My most expensive meal was probably a shared tasting menu at Jose Andres Bazaar in LA but I wasn't the one paying.
