Marinated Chinese eggplant is the only recipe I've ever begged from a chef
Marinated Chinese eggplant is the only recipe I've ever begged from a chef
I used to feel guilty asking chefs for recipes. In a roundabout, nonsensical way, by making that dish at home it felt like I was taking business away from the creator. However, I made one exception in my seven years as a restaurant critic at the Chicago Tribune. It was for a marinated Chinese eggplant side dish I had at Urban Belly, a restaurant I consider the Momofuku Noodle Bar of the Midwest. That restaurant, from chef Bill Kim, helped usher in the mainstreaming of ramen culture in Chicago.

This mushroom bolognese is so rich it made the Fortune 500

It’s a mushroom bolognese tagliatelle from the Chicago restaurant Somerset, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Lee Wolen. As a lifelong carnivore, this vegetarian pasta feels like the last thing in the world that could be labeled vegetarian—it’s a level 10 in richness and a level 14 in indulgence (my scale goes from 1 to 5). Even though the dish feels meaty and substantial, you’re only two ingredients away in the final step—butter and Parmesan—from making the dish wholly vegan. But th...

Deep dish is not the pizza of choice for most Chicagoans
As a lifelong Chicagoan, sure I’ve heard the many cracks about how dumb we all are to eat deep-dish when other pizza exists. They culminate in this particular legendary rant by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, who calls deep-dish “a fucking casserole.”
