Alinea’s Supper Club Produces ‘Damn Near Perfect’ Prime Rib, Says Trib | Eater Chicago

"I visited Kizin Creole, the only Haitian restaurant in Chicago, located in West Rogers Park, and found it offers many of the essentials: flaky pâté stuffed with meats or veggies and the national dish griyo, where chunks of pork shoulder are marinated, braised, and then deep-fried and served alongside fried plantains, taro root fritters, and fried white sweet potato. Everything sings with a side of pikliz, a tart, piercing Scotch bonnet–spiced slaw that sharpens the cuisine’s richness. Other specialties I tried or noted include ka bef (stewed oxtail) and diri djondjon, a deep, earthy rice pigmented with black mushrooms." - Jeffy Mai
