The Best Dishes Eater Chicago Editors Ate This Week: August 29 | Eater Chicago

"You know the tomatoes have to be really special to stand out on a tasting menu, and the Sungolds in tucupi (fermented cassava root broth) did just that at this new lunch and dinner spot from James Beard semifinalist Junior Borges. The tomatoes were incredibly sweet and expertly peeled, a perfect foil to the tang of the tucupi and the earthiness of carefully placed basil blooms. I genuinely wanted to drink the remnants at the bottom of the bowl and would happily eat a full course of just these tomatoes. Although the dinner had many other highlights — including a sweet shrimp in a spicy peanut and curry sauce and a cut of wagyu — I can’t help but go back to the tomatoes." - Jeffy Mai
