"Fire is the latest tasting menu restaurant from the Alinea group, so expect to take lots of pictures of things like an extra tender halibut cube. You’ll be served nine courses that highlight food science alongside flavor combinations that, aside from an overly rich wagyu and turnip plate, are perfectly balanced. Many dishes—like a soupy truffle pasta with leeks underneath—come with anecdotes about their unique smoking method, followed by “Careful, it’s really hot.” Another reason we already love this candlelit, buzzy, group-friendly Fulton Market spot: the $115-per-person price, which is essentially a student discount in the scheme of Chicago tasting menus. Look for reservations soon, unless you want to eat here a month from now." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor,
