Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, Illinois
Aug 22 06

Decided that since I've been living in Chicago for 15 years, it was time to try this institution. They have a vegetarian prix fixe menu, so I have to commend them for being so forward thinking. It is pricey... so not a place anyone would go to often (well, I guess some people are rich enough!). The food was interesting in a cerebral way, but I found it to be kind of soul-less. I'd much rather go to an authentic place where the people cook something that is close to their hearts. The desserts, however, were fantastic! If they had a 9 course dessert menu, I would go there for that! All in all an interesting experience to have once in my life, but it didn't knock my socks off.
