CHICAGO - Peruvian Flyertalk Dinner Do - Thurs Jan 11th - BYOB !!
C'mon out to D'Candela a Peruvian restaurant that is BYOB (Bring your own booze). The restaurant is VERY easy to get to with public transportation, it is only a few blocks away from the Blue Line (& Metra) Irving Park stop.
Fellow FT members & I dined here awhile back in 2014, 2015, 2016 and we enjoyed everything we had.
Some examples of very tasty dishes include:
Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken roasted slowly over real charcoal
Ceviche Mixto - Seafood and fresh tilapia marinated with lime juice, cilantro and rocoto pepper. Served with red onions, sweet potato, potato and Peruvian white corn. Slightly spicy.
Ocopa - Boiled and sliced potatoes topped with creamy sauce made with huacatay herb, nuts, milk and cheese. Served with boiled egg.
Chicha Morada - Traditional homemade Peruvian drink made of purple corn.
Time: 6:30pm
Venue:
D'Candela
4053 N Kedzie Ave
Chicago, IL 60618

I'm looking into it: I love this crowd after all. Fares are not where I want them to be though and I do have court Thursday and Friday mornings so we'll see. I'll keep you posted.

I am a doubtful for this one. No plans to be in Chicago that week, so Thursday evening would be difficult.
Enjoy though, and hope to catch the next one.
Happy New Years!
