Sola Trumps Restaurant Week

Bites: News and Miscellany
By Michael Nagrant

Last week I dubbed Chicago’s restaurant week corporate garbage intent on serving up a batch of uninspired French food to tourists. I’m sure chef Carol Wallack didn’t hear my rant, but, she and Sola, a true Chicago independent restaurant, came through with an inspired $30 pre-fixe tasting. Not only that, but the tasting isn’t some one time thing, but rather a regular weekly series. You can even email chef Wallack at dine@sola-restaurant.com, to let her know what you’d like to see on the menu.

Details:

Chef Carol Wallack of Sola, 3868 N. Lincoln, is introducing an affordable Three-Course Prix-Fixe menu beginning Tuesday, February 19th, which will be available every Tuesday and Wednesday for dinner, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The new menu is priced at $30 per person and highlights a featured ingredient, which will change each month. What a great way to save and splurge at the same time!

This month’s menu, available February 19th -21st, will feature Chef Wallack’s personal favorite, bacon! The first course is a Bacon and Grilled Pineapple Salad, pineapple, rosemary, black vinegar, pineapple coulis followed by the main course, which is Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Hawaiian sweet potato puree, Chinese broccoli, sczechwan peppercorn jus finished with a Taffy Apple Pie with Bacon Brittle Ice Cream, apple cider five spice syrup.
