Ooh I don’t know this place but I’ve only had a couple highwood dining experiences. I like the bakery The Bent Fork (more than Deerfield Bakery!) and cant find any decent bakery in highland park.

Thank you! I start with the sauté and then actually do steam the bbc, so that There’s a little char. So my bbc is primarily steamed.

Thank you! I do use the cheap Costco (Maybe organic?) olive oil but I think it’s a single 1-1/2 liter for $10; I’ll seek out the one even cheaper because I use it for cooking and Roasting. I use the lux olive oil for salads...
