Ramp it up, people! Starve a cold, feed a spring fever with these fresh veggies
By Amelia LevinYep, another schizo Chicago spring. Just when we think we're onto a real warming trend--zap!--it's frigid again. It's enough to drive us to, well, eat. Good thing spring has just sprung at these these spots.
Spring pickin's: asparagus
Perhaps the most popular spring vegetable, asparagus delivers enough antioxidants to dose the Jolly Green Giant. Plus, legend has it the slender green stalks have aphrodisiac qualities--perfect for when spring love is in the air, right?
Eat 'em at: sola
Chef Carol Wallack puts it simply when she says asparagus stalks are great because "they're sweet and taste good." We agree. At her Lincoln Square eatery, she serves them lightly grilled with a white soy-truffle vinaigrette alongside porcini-crusted salmon ($19).
