Chicago’s Best Desserts Served at Restaurants

"As the head of pastry at Michelin-starred Elske, an approachable Scandanavian-inspired restaurant in West Loop, Anna Posey’s desserts have never disappointed. Her desserts are more than a coda — they’re so good that may overshadow the entire meal, which may put a little pressure on her husband, the talented chef David Posey, to deliver with a set menu and a la carte options. Teaming with pastry chef T.C. Lumbar, the desserts change with the season. Currently, enjoy options like strawberry and buttermilk panna cotta with nasturtium and spices; or sunflower seed parfait with sour honey, licorice, and bee pollen." - Serena Maria Daniels
