Moody Tongue Brewery Could Get Michelin Stars - Eater Chicago
"Commons Club, the restaurant located inside the Virgin Hotel, is a hit-or-miss affair. Dishes are loaded up with extra items and sometimes the additions work and sometimes they don’t, giving the overall impression of trying too hard, according to Graham Meyer. Gnudi in a stew-like mixture of peekytoe crab, smoked tomato, basil oil, and Parmesan is a success; the warming, melding shadowy flavors contrast with the unexpected element of flash-fried basil leaves, providing textural punctuation. Tender and juicy skirt steak served atop well-seasoned, well-textured fries is another winner that shows how playing safe can stumble into less-is-more. However, on the Lobsta Butta Club sandwich, the claws retract from the taste. Cauliflower fried rice is also mushy, seeming even mushier from the barely roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts shuffled in." - Jeffy Mai
