Chicago - Longman & Eagle

[cmcadams]

My brother is part owner of a new restaurant in Logan Square in Chicago. If you're in the area, get there! It's a local gastropub/bar, with a great whiskey selection.

We were there last Thursday, with the following menu items on our table at some point:

An amuse bouche of house-smoked salmon

Meatballs with creamy polenta, along with buffalo frog legs with whipped bleu cheese

Pork cheek with a poached quail egg

Scallops with oxtail meat and house-made gnocchi

Beef belly with ramps

Veal breast (brisket?) with roasted radishes and pulled pork ravioli

Pork belly with morel mushrooms and pea risotto

Beef marrow with onion relish... Incredible!!!

French toast, poached apple and, yes, bacon ice cream!

2657 N Kedzie
(between Milwaukee Ave & Schubert Ave)
Chicago, IL 60647
Neighborhood: Logan Square

The name is in the thread title (Longman & Eagle)

They're getting great press, and just got named one of the best 100 bars in the US, and they only opened in January. The chef also just won a city-wide bacon-related competition. He knows what he's doing! He's also competed in KCBS comps before.

They're just off Milwaukee, and very close to the El.

Looks good but appears to be out of my league. Lots of big plates with little fancy food.

 

[cmcadams]

They're mostly called "small plates", and are done so that the cost is lower. It's not a fancy place at all; if you're going to discount it because you think it looks too 'fancy', that's your right, but you'll be missing something.
