Restaurant Michael Features an Award-Winning Dover Sole Dish Tonight!

Tonight, in addition to the launch of its 2011 seven-course Truffle Menu ($89 add a wine flight for $24), Restaurant Michael will feature an award-winning, unique version of Dover Sole. Michael Lachowicz learned the dish while working for Jean Banchet of Le Français fame.

The flawless filet of Dover Sole is wrapped in a “turban” around a silky mousse made with scallop. The mousse is just enough to hold lovely pieces of lobster tail in place. The entire affair is wrapped in puff pastry and baked until golden brown.

The melding of the juices from the Dover Sole and Lobster combine to add to a delicious lobster and hazelnut sauce.

This special has no up charge as it fits nicely in the restaurant's prix fixe menu structure, $48 (three-course) and $55 (four-course) plus tax and gratuity.

For guests with a lighter appetite, this special version of Dover Sole is also available à la carte.

Tonight’s live performance features the cabaret song stylings of Petra van Nuis with guitarist Andy Brown from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

For reservations, please call Restaurant Michael at (847) 441-3100.

Terry Walters' new book "Clean Start" is a Mitzvah

I think my life is about to change. At least, I hope so.

My husband Lee and I have been talking about changing our diet for years. My chance meeting with Clean Start author Terry Walters today at the Chicago French Market may just been the ticket we needed to start anew.

For those of you who don't know Terry, she authored the highly regarded Clean Food book last year and is currently on a book tour espousing the virtues of  "eating clean and living well."


I was struck by how simple the "clean" book recipes are. I can't wait to start cooking.

The preface of the book really struck home.

"Clean Start is about enjoying healthy, delicious, clean food everyday. It's about having a relationship with food that's not based on living up to somebody else's ideal, or following a strict regime. It's simply about making healthy choices, one at a time, and doing the best that you can do, empowered with knowledge and motivated by intention. It's about maximizing nutritional value and taste, and minimizing waste and imbalance. It's about true nourishment. The kind that makes you feel good about yourself.  The kind that you want to share with others."

The Clean Start book is as much a guide as it is a cookbook. Whether you're starting again or starting anew, eating clean is about being nourished by your food and by your journey," she says.

If you missed the book signing. Terry's enthusiasm and commitment is contagious.

"START HERE. It doesn't matter where you are starting. Eating clean is about what we can do now to make healthy choices."

I love her advice from the get go:

Eat the colors of the rainbow.
Eat dark leafy greens every day.
Eat all five tastes.
Eat foods that are grown, not manufactured.
Skip the package.
Buy clean food and leave the rest behind.
Buy and try one new clean food each time you shop.
Know the source of your food.
Buy local and organic when you can.
Be nourished by your food and make peace with your choices.

The book is packed with information and 100 tasty, healthy recipes. I am so happy that I went to the book signing today. If you missed it, don't miss out on buying Terry's book Clean Start. I believe that it will be, perhaps, the most used book in your collection. It will certainly be the best $25 investment I've made this year.

To learn more about Terry, visit her website, follow her on Twitter @TerryWalters and subscribe to her blog.

Thanks Terry. What a mitzvah!

City Fresh Market - Better Choice for Hyper-Local Food Shopping in Chicago's West Loop - safer-healthier-organic

Do you know the condition of the products you are buying at the supermarket? From whence they came? Are they fresh?

 “You should be asking or at least thinking about these issues,” says Danny Kovacevic, co-owner of City Fresh Market.

According to Dr. Oz’s website, improper practices that lead to food contamination, such as failing health inspections and storing or packaging food indecently are on the rise. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate 1 out of 6 Americans, approximately 48 million people, get sick every year, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases. Although you feel safe at your Goliath supermarket, they may have behind-the-scene secrets. Problems with freshness and contamination at large supermarket chains give good cause for returning to shopping hyper-local.

Together, brothers Danny and Ray Kovacevic opened their second City Fresh Market, a European-styled grocery destination in the Chicago French Market, to offer west-loop commuters and shoppers healthy, quality grocery items within steps of their homes. The original City Fresh Market, opened in 2004, is located on Chicago's northside.

The days of knowing and trusting the neighborhood butcher may be long gone but not forgotten. Stores like City Fresh Market are popping up in cities across the country, developing special customer-store relationships.

Did you know that meat may have been sitting on supermarket shelves for longer than you realize? According to Dr. Oz’s website, it doesn’t appear that way because some supermarkets pump carbon monoxide into packaging, giving meat a fresh appearance.

City Fresh Market wants their customers to be healthy, taking necessary measures to provide fresh, healthy and quality products.

“We take all customer requests seriously,” says Danny. “We keep our products fresh by purchasing what we need on a daily basis; we never use carbon monoxide.”

City Fresh Market believes in doing things the all-natural way, offering products that do not contain steroids, antibiotics or hormones such as Tallgrass Beef by Bill Kurtis. Tallgrass Beef cattle are one hundred percent grass-fed for their entire lives. The result is healthier cattle and safer beef, assuring City Fresh Market customers that their well-being has been accounted for.

According to Bill Kurtis, grass is the natural diet of cattle—rather than grain. Cattle raised on grain must often be given antibiotics in order to digest their feed. Cattle kept in small pens or feedlots on corn diet have created an increase in the instance of E. coli contaminated beef. Cattle are meant to graze the prairie in collective groups, as they naturally do.



With fresh, ripe produce delivered daily and unique packaged goods imported from all over the world, City Fresh Market’s array of quality products meet all specialty-item shopping needs. Local Chicagoans who have discovered City Fresh Market have become regulars, considering it the west-loop’s best kept secret.

City Fresh Market’s expanded product assortment provides all the essentials for home-cooking in a unique environment.

“Customers often comment how pleased they are with our pricing; we are actually quite reasonable compared to the quality and selection of what we offer,” says Danny.

Stop into City Fresh Market and discover what others are considering to be ‘the definitive west-loop neighborhood market’. Expanded product offerings— homemade prepared foods, a variety of meats, fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, cheese and meat pies, fresh-squeezed orange juice, olive oil, vinegar and salad dressings.

In need of a grab-and-go lunch or dinner? Pick up a pre-made, never frozen, and easy to pop in the oven meal; or fresh salad, offered daily along with a distinct array of dressings and oils.

It’s not unusual for customers to say, “How come I didn’t know about you?”; “I’d much rather shop here.”; “Great fish, beef and produce!” or “I can’t believe how reasonable you are.”

Bring on the margaritas! It's National Margarita Day February 22

We at Kurman have never met a margarita we haven’t loved. There’s something about the unique blend of fresh fruit, ice and our beloved tequila that sends our hearts a flutter. While most people look forward to traditional holidays like Christmas and Halloween, our favorite holiday has always been National Margarita Day on February 22.

This year we plan on celebrating this glorious vacation-like holiday at Guanajuato (73 Green Bay Rd. in Glencoe, Ill.) not its namesake city in Mexico. Featuring more than 40 tequilas, aficionados have the choice of savoring it by the shot, in a specialty cocktail or, our personal favorite, in a delicious brimming-over-the-top margarita. Guanajuato offers classic flavors such as mango, strawberry and lime as well as specialty margaritas including their Mango and Blood Orange Margarita with a little paprika for spiciness, Acai Pomegranate Margarita, and Spicy Margarita made with jalapenos!

Other great places to celebrate include Bistro One West (1 W. Illinois St., St. Charles, Ill.). They feature a variety of margaritas including an Acai Margarita made with tequila, Veev liquor and lime juice and Agave Spice made with agave tequila, lemonade, cinnamon and a splash of lemonade served in a cinnamon sugar rimmed glass.

Or check out Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar (25 E. Ohio St., Chicago, Ill. and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Linconshire, Ill.). They will custom make the margarita(s) of your dreams!

As if one day isn’t enough, according to http://www.foodimetary.com/, February 18-20 is National Margarita Weekend! What a wonderful excuse to drink Margarita’s all weekend long, take a break on Monday, nurse the hangover and then celebrate yet again on Tuesday!

Why, you may ask, is Margarita Day a national holiday and where did margaritas come from? According to http://www.nochelatina.com/, some say that the world-famous tequila drink was named after Hollywood actress Rita Hayworth, who was originally known as Margarita Cansino the dancer. Others claim that bartender Carlos “Danny” Herrera created it at his Tijuana-based restaurant for a beautiful showgirl who was allergic to hard alcohol. The world may never know why Margarita Day is a holiday or why it was created, but on average American’s drink 185,000 margaritas per hour, which makes it practically a patriotic duty to down Margaritas by the armful.

There are a myriad of different ways to enjoy National Margarita Day (and weekend!) Where will you be celebrating?
