Bouroncle and Penacino both bragged about the sweet & spicy lobster and I'll admit, it was good ...I just wish it was easier to score the meat from the shell, as I didn't want to use my hands at the table, though it was very tempting.
Dinner also included coconut rice, which was good, and red snapper with coconut milk, another tasty treat. There were two salads which, well, seemed to be quite American, not quite Aruban – but the large chunks of fresh avocado and tomatoes and more were excellent.
Bouroncle said Chicago "has really nice restaurants," which we all know – and everyone here has, oh, 10 favorites, or more. For steaks, Chicagoans love this place, for seafood it's that place, pasta, sushi, etc., etc., etc.
Bouroncle said his favorite Chicago restaurant that he visited was the popular Girl & The Goat, located at 809 W. Randolph St. Girl & The Goat opened in 2010 and offers a family-style menu with a wide range of wine, plus great craft beers, and more. "The food there was amazing," Bouroncle said.
He also visited Eately, the marketplace-style restaurant for all things Italian, located at 43 E. Ohio St.
