I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today

It's hard to ask for a better weekend-- got to do a lot of cooking.  My two big gigs involved a condo association BBQ and house warming.  Cooking for a lot of people and then for not a lot of people, but cooking everyday nonetheless.  I could get used to this.

It’s been one short year since the removal of the foie gras ban in Chicago. To celebrate arguably the single most important anniversary in existence, many restaurants have created unique menus for foie gras week. For me, there’s only one right choice when deciding where to celebrate, David Burke’s Primehouse at the James Hotel.

Have to remember this trip isn’t about the steak, it’s about the foie. It’s about spending my Saturday night going through an 11 part foie flight of heaven. And maybe Kobe beef sashimi. And maybe a cold seafood tower.

I arrive 20 minutes before my reservation, overly eager. Pace around the block a few times to kill time and build my appetite further. Only make it a few times before I cave and enter the restaurant early anyway—still seated immediately.
