Enjoy a bottle of wine with lunch or dinner at Karma Asian Food and Wine for only one penny this June in Mundelein

Share: 

Throughout June, Karma Asian Food and Wine, which is one of the most beautiful food lovers’ restaurants in Chicago’s northern suburbs, has just given its fans another great reason to stop by for lunch or dinner: a bottle of wine for one penny. Guests who order two entrées can purchase a bottle of either house red or white wine for an extra cent (there is a limit of one bottle for every two persons). This may be the most enticing wine offer to come along in a long time.

“We’re so excited about our new Executive Chef, Paul Choi, and our new menu, that we’re giving our friends, and hopefully many new friends, the most wonderful reason to visit Karma Asian Food and Wine,” said Todd Gunderson, Regional Restaurant Manager. “Our one-penny bottles of wine are actually excellent selections that everyone will enjoy to accompany our amazing cuisine.”

Guests will have no trouble finding something delicious to relish with their wine, as each food creation is made from top quality, fresh ingredients and is beautifully presented. Among Chef Choi’s new entrée specialties are the signature Korean BBQ Glazed Rib Eye ($26), served with sticky steamed rice and wilted ginger spinach that goes beautifully with a red wine, and the Crispy Tuna ($26), served with seasonal greens, wasabi vinaigrette and sesame-soy, well paired with a refreshing white wine.

Start your meal with tempting appetizers such as the Seared Ahi Tuna with wild arugula, seasonal grape tomatoes and ginger-soy ($12), Firecracker Shrimp with scallions and chili ($10) or the Carpaccio, togarashi seared beef with seasonal greens, cilantro flatbread, wasabi vinaigrette and soy caramel ($9).

Refreshing salad choices include the Karma Salad with seasonal greens, cucumber, red onion, carrot noodles, tomato, and Szechuan peppercorn vinaigrette ($9); or the Chicken Tonkatsu Salad that starts with a house lettuce blend that is combined with tomato, cucumber, peas, carrot noodles, scallions, wonton chips, and yuzu-ginger vinaigrette ($13).

Among the additional new entrée selections are the Grilled Mahi-Mahi with quinoa, roasted red peppers, spinach, baby carrots and ginger-soy ($25); “Potato & Nori” Salmon with wasabi mashed potatoes, wakame salad and ginger scallion ($22); Mandarin Orange Chicken with hoisin BBQ glaze, shiitake mushrooms, baby spinach and Napa cabbage ($24); and Filet Mignon with wasabi mashed potatoes, tempura onions, wild mushroom-tamari jus ($27).

Karma also features delicious noodle dishes such as the Karma Ramen with pork belly, corn, spinach, roasted peppers, poached egg and pork broth ($15); Snapper with soba noodles, shitake mushrooms, bok choy and bonito nage ($22); and Udon with seasonal vegetables, tempura shrimp, fish cake and spicy miso broth ($16).

NEWEST VENDOR


Superior Nut and Candy

Chicago French Market introduces its newest vendor Superior Nut and Candy, joining the market in September 2011.

The Superior Nut and Candy success story started in Chicago in 1982 by the Mastrangelo family when they opened their first retail store selling nuts, chocolates and candies to local neighborhood customers.  Quickly earning a reputation for serving fresh roasted snack nuts, confections and candies, the company grew into a chain of stores throughout the Chicago land area. Since this beginning, Superior Nut and Candy have transformed itself into a consumer snack company specializing in nuts, chocolates and candies. The Superior brand can be found in many stores throughout the country.
Through the years, Superior has maintained its focus on delivering freshly roasted nuts, chocolate and yogurt products, and popular candies that will be available to you in bulk. In addition to our broad manufacturing capabilities we roast nuts, coat our own chocolates and yogurts, on the south side Chicago and source candy from the best suppliers in the country. This ensures that you will have the freshest products. Stop by and check out their enormous assortments!

After a suggestion and a game plan, Colin attended the CIA graduating in 2001 with amazing experiences, culminating in winning a spot at the Aspen Food and Wine Festival getting to work with cooking legend Jacques Pepin who had an amazing effect on his philosophy of cooking and life. He honed his craft and developed his repertoire at Coquette Cafe and Sanford restaurants under the tutelage of Chef Sandy D'Amato and his wife Angie. After four years, Colin set out to prove himself in kitchens in Minneapolis, Traverse City Michigan; accumulating these experiences with a great run at Whitehall Hotel in Chicago. Colin returned from Wisconsin after opening Kickshaw restaurant in 2009 to take the helm at Bistro Voltaire returning to the great French classics.

Fleming’s Memorable Meals: Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for Two for $99

A New 3-Course Menu, Available for a Limited Time Only This Summer

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar kicks off summer with a Memorable Meal that recalls the spirit of a picnic on the rocky shores of the New England coast. Through August 15, guests can enjoy a Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for two for $99 at two Chicago area Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse locations: 25 E. Ohio St., Chicago, Ill., and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire, Ill.

Created by Executive Chef Russell Skall, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse Memorable Meals bring back favorite dining experiences – the ones that capture the place, the time, the flavors and the people you share them with. The Memorable Meals have been implemented locally by Chef Partner Jerl Griffin at Chicago and Chef Partner Roger Abuan at Lincolnshire. Chef Skall’s inspiration for this summer tradition starts with fresh Maine lobster.

"One of my favorite ways to enjoy Maine Lobster is in a traditional New England Seafood Boil," says Chef Skall. "It’s a simple yet stylish way to prepare the summertime ocean harvest. I find a large pot and fill it with market-fresh seafood, add fresh vegetables and seasonings, then boil it. If I were cooking on the beach or at home, we would serve it in the traditional manner — the contents simply spread out on a newspaper in the middle of a table for all to share."

For Fleming’s Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil, Chef Skall also adds Manila clams, mussels and shrimp, along with fresh corn on the cob, new potatoes and andouille sausage, all cooked in a delicious stock. This dish is served in a bowl with freshly baked buttermilk drop biscuits and a coleslaw salad with fresh tomatoes and sliced mozzarella tossed with apple cider vinaigrette. The meal concludes with another summer favorite – a fruit cobbler of fresh peaches and dried cranberries for dessert.

Fleming’s Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for Two is available for only $99* (not including tax and gratuity). It can also be ordered for one at $49.50. It is available at Fleming’s through August 15. This Memorable Meal is not on Fleming’s regular menu and available to Friends of Fleming’s who either make a reservation online or mention the "Memorable Meal" when making a reservation by phone.

*Does not include tax or gratuity. Memorable Meals are not on Fleming’s regular menu and are available through 8/15/10 at all Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse restaurants.
