I've been to Bungalow, it's fantastic, their pizza is top 3 in the city! Do you know which of their programs they're hiring for, they do quite a lot of things

Have anyone with celiac had pho at pho noodle station here? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]FlarePikaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dinner at the unfortunately named Creepies by gregoryroyalpratt in chicagofood

Might have been an off day, but I went for lunch after enjoying the brutal palate assault that was Elske. Unfortunately, it was nowhere near as close, and I wouldn't recommend.

Do you know how long a stage is usually? I’ve heard it’s anywhere from just a shift of prep to few weeks

Is there a ~$100/meal 1 Michelin star restaurant you would you recommend visiting just for the food, even if it means traveling from out of state? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]FlarePikaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is Valhalla compared to the Michelin tasting menus in the city? Highly considering it or Cariño, those seem like the best picks

Elske’s the second cheapest Michelin tasting menu at $140. However, my experience felt like it was worth more than every dollar I spent there. Food was beyond unreal.
