I was in Chicago at the same time as luxury and this thread has given me the perfect opportunity to sing the praises of Vermilion. It doesn't appear to have ever been mentioned on FT but it was the dining highlight of our trip. It specialises in fusion of Indian (subcontinent, that is) and Latin American foods. Pretty weird premise, I thought, but the food was startlingly creative and fabulously delicious. Absolutely wonderful service from a young man who was thoroughly knowledgable about the food and could discuss it in all its subtlety - because despite the big flavours the food really is very nuanced.

BTW I stumbled upon Vermilion in throwaway line on the TA reviews of Trump. Really pleased I followed up on it.
