ABCdinners letter A


So my last post was like a year ago-ish when I decided to do the Alphabet Dinners!
Well it happened! And it was amazing!
We had so much fun that we already started challenges for 2016 including #brunchamonthclub and working through Liquor.com's Best Bars list (only Chicago ones)... but more of that later.

Thought I would give a quick recap of the Alphabet Dinners (as well as other Alphabet options we contemplated) in case anyone else wants to try out some!
Here we go!

A is for Au Cheval

Au Cheval is a restaurant on Randolph Street in the West Loop.  It has topped"best fries of America" and "best burger in America" lists- and the hour(s) wait to get in definitely supports that.  We went to Au Cheval on a Friday night and put our name in and enjoyed margaritas down the way at Hello Tacos! and then also standing outside the restaurant... so the wait really didn't seem bad at all!

Started with some bone marrow and beef cheek marmalade... sounds crazy... but was pretty darn good! Bone marrow tasted like some sort of butter.. Tim loved it, lets just say I tried it. ha But the beef cheek marmalade on their texas toast was yummy. Followed by, their famous burger and fries (get bacon on yours!!).. YUM! Still dreaming about it!


Other A options: Antique Taco, A Tavola, and Avec
