Chicago Restaurant Week

Chicago Restaurant Week starts today and runs through February 27.
Three people wearing chef's hats greeted morning commuters at Ogilvie
Center to hand out the official guide to Chicago Restaurant Week 2011.
Lot of great lunch and dinner specials during this week. Blackbird,
Naha, Roy's, Wildfire (including suburban locations), Rhapsody, and
Coco Pazzo are some of the participating restaurants.
EatItUpChicago.com will have the full list. Bon appetit!

Palmer House Treetini

I had a Treetini cocktail at the Potter's Lounge in the Chicago Palmer
House Hilton a few weeks ago. Yummy for me though my colleagues
thought it too sweet. The hotel claims that a tree will be planted for
every Treetini ($12) ordered. The cocktail is made with Veev acai
spirit, St. Germain liqueur, pomegranate liqueur, and fresh lemon juice.
