Whistler, BC: Araxi - "must get the lobster gnocchi"

2008-03-25T21:27:19-07:00

Review of Araxi at 4222 Village Gate Blvd, Whistler, BC VON 1B4

It was quite possibly the best dish I’ve ever had…anywhere.The gnocchi was made with white truffle flour and ricotta. It was topped with chunks of lobster and sat in a lightbroth that was both a little sweet, a little salty, and a little tangy.Absolutely superb!

The food:We had the chef’s tasting menu. You don’t choose your courses or see what they are before hand…it’s a complete surprise when it comes out of the kitchen. I’m a little ashamed to say that there was one thing that I couldn’t bring myself to try ...

Chicago, IL: Cafe Typhoon - "good food court food"

2007-04-10T10:12:30-07:00

Review of Cafe Typhoon at 520 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611-6988

by globug2:

Very good for food court food. The sushi’s reliable, and I’ve also had the green bean chicken, but my favorite is the teriyaki salmon. Portion are big for the price.

by globug2:

It’s pricey…but if you’ve had an afternoon of label shopping and wanna treat yourself like an heiress, the food’s really good. I’ve had their rocket salad and the carpaccio before.

by globug2:

Yummy tapas. Delicious sangria. Great Really, really good prices. Great for really large groups of friends. Be prepared for a really long wait on Fri and Sat nights, though. And if on the day you go, they have the paella with noodles on the specials…get it!

Chicago, IL: Butter - "Butter"

2007-04-10T09:55:33-07:00

Review of Butter at 130 S Green St, Chicago, IL 60607

by globug2:

It’s been a while since I’ve been. I remember it being really good. And I remember that I was thrilled that they had Inniskillin ice wine. But I also remember thinking that for the price and among the other nice restaurants in the same category, that once was enough.
