Live lobsters ship very well. We do a lot of business in fresh seafood and it only spoils... sometimes.

this is all a display of pissant wealth, but paying out the nose for non-locally sourced food is scrub tier mid-20th century horseshit in this age of farm-to-table destination dining

of course we're talking about chicago, where the only farms in a 500 mile radius are monsanto/syngenta/bayer feedlot corn

Oh yeah, I meant to say something about it, but forgot. It's not like it's Southern California or Texas, but there is an appreciable Mexican community, one that's a bit older in character than the rest of the country and was the result of Mexican Americans following the usual 1940's migration patterns that led a lot of people from around the country to Chicago plus the addition of new immigrants over the years. Not quite a case of "Midwest Mexican food lol".

Yeah, I just glance past anyone who says "Midwest Mexican food lol" about Chicago. We got some fine rear end Mexican food, and one helluva large and vibrant Latino community with a strong and efficacious history.

man speaking of food one of my best friends from high school was telling me how during winter break sophomore year his family went to colorado, and ate at a chinese restaurant there

it was run by white guys asking them "ni hao! ni yao chow fun?" in a really bad american accent and after they didn't get it a few times he asked "hey you want fried rice?"

and then they saw him cooking it. he took some steamed rice, put it with a caesar salad, put in the dressing, and tossed it a bit. they all threw up in their mouths a bit.

On topic: There is a food addiction thread.


Is it safe to assume that within the first page it's already filled with goons trying to justify hateful punching downward at fat people

The opinions seem to vary, but there is very little there that is about "oh, those fat people are just lazy fucks". It's actually interesting reading so far. I don't think I'm currently fat, but it's interesting to see what in my behavior/diet makes that the case. Probably helped that my therapist in 7th Grade told me to exercise to feel better, and it worked. I think there might be a bad dynamic in American schools where if you're not on a sports team, nobody will encourage you to just exercise for the hell of it.

when i was in istanbul they had "ottoman restaurants" that charged like 60 bucks per dish

it's a real shame i'm not as rich as a sultan but that kinda seemed like a tourist trap anyway!

If you go to Istanbul and eat anything but street food/fish from a restaurant next to a fishmonger's from which you can buy the fish they will make you, you are a sucker's sucker.

I get my tamales from a recently immigrated Mexican friend of the family. She always makes a lot but her kids don't like them so I get a bunch for free. I don't know if any food posted in this thread is supposed to be tamales, but they look nothing like what I got.

Also a Salvadoran place just opened up so I have recently learned the joys of pupusas and that yummy fermented cabbage they serve them with.

Next time take pictures and post them (and respect tables unlike MIGF).

Who's ready for 2015 at Next?

quote:

January – May

Next: Bistro

4 Years after opening with our Paris 1906 menu we embrace the more casual side of Parisian dining culture. With the great flood of 1910 behind them, Parisians embraced the Bistro. In 2015, Next will as well.

Every week we will introduce new items on our evolving 5-7 course chalkboard menu — we will also have specials and supplements on a daily basis.

Casual, delicious, and filling for the cold Chicago winter. And the kind of menu you’ll want to revisit every few weeks.

$80-$120 per person.
Please note: optional supplements of $ 15 – $ 75 will be available to order in the dining room.

——

May – Sept

Next: Tapas

A simple and raucous flow of a few dozen bites descends on your table satisfying the savory, salty, bitter and sweet. The order of the courses matters less than the enjoyment. Weather permitting we will utilize the sidewalk space to start your experience. Make new friends, visit the kitchen, maybe even dance (?!).

Small bites in Spain of Tapas or Pintxos are in many ways the predecessor of the long, modernist tasting menus of today. We present both traditional and modern takes on Spanish cuisine from North to South.

$70-$110 per person.

——

September – December

Next: Terroir

This wine focused menu pairs wines from the Northern Hemisphere’s greatest viticultural traditions with classic dishes from the same Terroirs. Burgundy, Alsace, Bordeaux, Chianti, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, California, Washington State… the juxtaposition of New World and Old World wines with dishes from the precise area where the grapes are grown and vinified allows for an incredible, delicious, and educational progression around the world of food and wine pairings.

Approximately 15 courses complementing 10+ vintage wines and a few surprises.

$295-355 per person, inclusive of all wine and food.

Please note: non-alcoholic, non-wine pairings are not available for this menu
