Chicago's Best New Dishes of 2024 - Chicago - The Infatuation
"The ravioli at Cariño in Uptown is a maximalist corn masterpiece. This perfectly cooked pasta is loaded with nutty huitlacoche, topped with corn foam, surrounded by fried corn silk, and gets a sprinkling of popcorn and freeze-dried sweet corn for extra texture. It’s savory, earthy, and has extra umami from truffle butter. The only way to experience it is by committing to their $195 tasting menu, but luckily, it’s in good company—the other Mexican dishes are also fantastic.
