Brings Me Sugar
Mar. 15th, 2005 02:20 amSugar, a new dessert-only restaurant somewhere in Chicagoland, got raves in the latest Bon Appetit. If I make it to the Gaiman reading, I could check it out.
"Designed by Suhail (the creator of Chicago's MOD restaurant and MTV's Real World Chicago house), the club gives off a multi-sensory sugar buzz: From plastic ribbon-candy tables and chocolate-bar banquettes to honey-beehive light fixtures and sucrose-molecule drapery, it's packed with clever details... A crème brûlée brightened by a hit of fresh passion fruit and stacked with slices of roasted pineapple and crunchy kataifi gets partnered with Sauternes. A trio of warm chocolate cake, chocolate pot de crème and chocolate sorbet is matched with a choice of Banyuls Vin Doux Naturel (a sweet fortified dessert wine from France) or Lindemans Framboise raspberry beer from Belgium."
Okay, yum. Hipster beyond words, but cool. I'm not opposed to sampling sceenster places, I don't want to rule it out just because it's trying hard. Sometimes trying hard just yields good results.
I'm still crazy for serriously contemplating this Chicago jaunt. And on a school night.
