Plenty of Chicagoland restaurants are happy to help you greet Rosh Hashana 5771 on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 8–9. Drink up, wine lovers! You can sip, slurp and sample your way through September with a wide variety of wines being poured at Chicago-area steakhouses. Tuck into chunks of roasted baby beets, drizzled with white truffle vinaigrette and sprinkled with goat cheese, alongside lamb’s lettuce, $8 at Gemini Bistro in Lincoln Park. Pimento cheese spread remains beloved fare below the Mason-Dixon Line. You’ve heard about the paper food that the molecular gastronomists at the West Loop’s Moto … well, that may soon be old hat. Almost any food can be pickled, and in the South most things are. Chef Paul of Big Jones in Andersonville generously shares his recipes for Southern-style mirliton chow chow, onion pickle, pickled okra, dill refrigerator pickles and piccalilli. Light Opera Works offers a delicious revival of >Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s poignant 1945 musical, “Carousel” through Aug. 28. At Pinstripes in Northbrook and South Barrington they brush slices of ciabatta with extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt bread, grill them and cover them with organic grape tomatoes, chunks of fresh mozzarella and a glaze of 7-year-old balsamic vinegar, and serve them with a garnish of wild arugula and shaved pecorino. |
