Country cousin far from simplistic
When word went out that Jason Paskewitz and Ryan O'Donnell were planning Rustic House, a sequel to their successful first venture, the sophisticated Gemini Bistro, I figured the pair wanted a simpler follow-up restaurant, something that would let them...Tags: Appetizers, Bars and Clubs, Dining and Drinking, WGN, Foods and Beverages

Make a dash for it
Every time I figure that Logan Square is done with its boom of independent, unpretentious, quirkily personable restaurants, boom, another one pops up. If I were any other dining neighborhood in the city, I'd be developing a severe case of Logan Envy right...Tags: Anchovies, Wines, Dining and Drinking, Bars and Clubs, WGN

Tourondel menu has complex surprises
Funny how a simple gesture, a little grace note, can render a dining experience memorable. For instance, I would send people to BLT American Brasserie just for the popovers.
Maybe it's because bread at restaurant tables these days is often missing, or...Tags: Meatballs, Dining and Drinking, Foods and Beverages, Chicago Restaurants, Restaurants

Bar Toma: Italian fare inspires dreams of summertime dining
Tony Mantuano is on a roll. A local politician who flies on Air Force One these days calls him "my favorite chef."

Star potential shines at Aria
I've been meaning to review Beverly Kim's food ever since September's Chicago Gourmet. I was mightily impressed with her contribution to the food festival: a seafood panna cotta topped with mango gelee and a pair of chilled mussels.
Kim further boosted...Tags: Petroleum Industry, Top Chef (tv program), Dining and Drinking, Television Industry, Foods and Beverages

Mixed messages
Some day, I hope chef Jared Van Camp finds a suitably food-focused stage for his cooking, but that doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon.

Ing's dishes are spot on
Homaro Cantu is a chef defined and limited by his excesses. At Moto, Cantu's science-based culinary sleight-of-hand never fails to dazzle even the most jaded diner, but when the presentation promises more than the dish's flavor delivers — and in...Tags: Ketchup, Hamburgers, Dining and Drinking, Foods and Beverages, WGN
