Dear Margaret

12 New Women-Owned Restaurants To Check Out In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"There was a lot that impressed us about Dear Margaret, a French-Canadian restaurant that opened late last year in Lincoln Park. For example, a silky duck liver mousse that’s perfectly paired with sweet orange marmalade. Or a tender braised beef shank (complete with a bone that had perfectly rendered marrow). There was also braised cauliflower with arugula and pearl onions, and Nanaimo bars, which have a graham cracker/coconut/walnut base, and are topped with chocolate, icing, and creme fraiche. They’re not currently open for dine-in service, but thanks to careful carryout packaging (and the great food) it makes a great special occasion-worthy coffee table spread." - adrian kane
