Wow. Mr CE got his 2nd vaccine at the University of Chicago this evening, and since we rarely are in Hyde Park we decided to check out Virtue for dinner. Amazing.

We had to start:
hoe cakes: pimento cheese, scallion
snap peas: butter lettuce, crunchy grains, harissa (they gave me sherry vinaigrette since I have a bell pepper sensitivity)
asparagus: midnight moon cheese, fried ham, caesar dressing

And for our mains:
salmon: Sweet peas, white beans, honey mustard
catfish: blackened, carolina gold rice, barbeque carrots

...with a side of cornbread and honey butter.

Desserts looked amazing but we were stuffed, so we'll save room for next time. Chicagoans, get to Hyde Park and check it out!
