The story of the political princess and the pea
Have you heard the fairy tale about the political princess and the pea? She was not some ordinary princess. She was the high princess, the Princess Lisa, heiress of the mythical land of Madiganistan. Madiganistan was once a green and fertile domain...

Liar liar, officepants on fire
That's a good point! (No it isn't.) I'd be happy to join the team! (I'd rather be eaten by wart hogs.) Your cake is delicious! (Thanks for the food poisoning, Julia Child.) These are but a few examples of the lies we tell at work. Most aren't...

Tasteful eye candy
![Things are certainly heating up, foodwise, in the neighborhood dubbed Lakeshore East, the easternmost spit of land between the Chicago River and Randolph Street. The stylish, upscale steakhouse III Forks opened there late last year; Aria restaurant is getting new attention thanks to Beverly Kim's appearances on "Top Chef"; and now we have Filini, which opened in November in the architectural gem known as Aqua Tower.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2012-02/67804165-02091949.jpg "Things are certainly heating up, foodwise, in the neighborhood dubbed Lakeshore East, the easternmost spit of land between the Chicago River and Randolph Street.

It's all relative
It would be easy to overlook Fogon, an 8-week-old Mexican restaurant in River West, especially as the space has been home to two or three forgettable restaurants in the last few years.
The restaurant's pedigree suggests that would be an error. Fogon is...Tags: Shrimp, Tomatoes, Foods and Beverages, Salads, Mangos

Guy and the goose
I'm not awarding four stars to Goosefoot, the splendid new restaurant by former Les Nomades chef Chris Nugent. But I suspect it's just a matter of time — and not a lot of time — before I do.
Goosefoot opened in mid-December with the plug-and-...Tags: Goosefoot, Wines, Dining and Drinking, Restaurants, Phil Vettel

More doughnuts, and other 2013 office resolutions
The good news is, the Mayans were wrong, and we get to start a brand new year. The bad news is, we will have to spend most of that year working. (Thanks for nothing, Mayans.) To keep you from feeling too bummed out about the lack of an apocalypse, I'm...

Phil Vettel: Three stars for mk

Van Camp, executive chef at 2-month-old Nellcote, creates thoughtful, approachable and affordable Provence-...Tags: Olives, Nellcote, Dining and Drinking, Phil Vettel, CLTV

Fine dining stakes claim in Berwyn
To corrupt an old saying, the good Lord never closes a condo without opening a bungalow.
Berwyn is on the rise. The financial crisis has turned the near west suburb into a hot spot of affordable housing, and young couples and families are crowding in....Tags: Olives, Autre Monde, Foods and Beverages, Salads, French Literature

Tourondel menu has complex surprises
Funny how a simple gesture, a little grace note, can render a dining experience memorable. For instance, I would send people to BLT American Brasserie just for the popovers.
Maybe it's because bread at restaurant tables these days is often missing, or...Tags: Chocolate Cake, Chicago Restaurants, Foods and Beverages, Dining and Drinking, Phil Vettel
