The caesar
So, I have been busy-tis that time of the year! We were in the Chicago Sun Times again yesterday! They had a list of the 12 best things of the year by the dining guide guy Pat Bruno and our caesar salad was in the article as something not to miss! Awesome! Actually what is super cool about it is that the caesar is good, but it is different. We take a half a head of organic romaine lettuce and slather it with caesar dressing then we throw the half head right on the grill. This creates some smokey flavor and a bit of caramelization with the dressing. Then we add a bit more dressing and serve it right on a plate. Over the year and a half that we have been open, some people were surprised by the caesar because a caesar is fairly standard wherever you go, so they aren't expecting it to be different. We have gotten better about training our staff to warn them so that the customers know it is different but give it a try because it is so yummy! The smokiness really lends a lovely flavor layer to the traditional caesar flavors. Anyway, I wanted to make it so you could read about the article in the Sun Times but I can't find it right now...working on it and will update it when I get it!
