I had an amazing Valentine’s Day in Chicago last night!! The day started with a coworker lunch at Uncle Bub‘s BBQ in Westmont where they were giving out carnations to the ladies…
followed by a work place delivery of Garrett’s Popcorn (Chicago Mix – cheese + caramel).
After a horrible bout with traffic, my guy ordered an Uber, who’s amazing driver Mark presented me with a beautiful rose and a note from Uber.
The highlight of the day was the amazing pre-fixe dinner at Bar Pastoral – a cheese and wine bistro in the Lakeview neighborhood. The menu is below, followed by the amazing dishes that were served…
The hand pulled mozzarella was my fav dish, by far! It was amazing…
Proscuitto and cheese curds with arugula…
Beef cheeks and celery root puree…
… everything was topped off with cake pops…
…and they sent us home with some salted chocolate chip cookies for a cab-ride snack!
All in all, it was a great night and I can’t wait to go back!!
