Chicago Restaurant Week

To my fellow Chicagoans- did you know it's Restaurant Week!?

For those of you who don't know, Restaurant Week is a citywide celebration of the culinary expertise and artistic vision of restaurants throughout Chicago.  Over 240 restaurants participate, choosing a prix fixe menu priced at a fixed $22 for lunch of $33/$44 (depending on the restaurant) for dinner.

Last night I was lucky enough to try out Boka, a one michelin star restaurant in Lincoln Park with a fresh perspective on modern cuisine.  The dishes were amazing, atmosphere flawless, and service a totally pleasure.  They even brought us complementary cocktails, since we expressed interest in their bar program!

Take a look at the Boka Restaurant Week Menu...



You had better believe we got that mac and cheese.  There are no words.

If you are in the area, look out for restaurant week specials all over the city! It's an amazing opportunity to try out restaurants while they are in their best form.
