"For anyone who wants a fancy tasting menu with a beer pairing, there’s Moody Tongue in the South Loop. The 12-course meal in their intimate dining room has dishes like lobster with black truffle and roast squab with wild strawberries. But if a $285 meal (plus $75 for beverage pairing) feels a bit much, their large bar is perfect. There, you can eat things like scallops and glazed veal sweetbread while drinking a fruit lychee IPA or a churro porter. But honestly, stopping by just for their 12-layer chocolate cake is a totally valid (and recommended) move." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
