Interior Design's NeoCon Show Daily 3

SPECIAL EDITION

Interior Design’s annual HiP Awards honors the talent, vision, and creativity that makes this industry tick— at NeoCon and beyond.

The design world partied for a purpose at DIFFA Chicago’s 35thannual Believe Gala fundraising bash on Saturday, held at the Geraghty event space, which benefited the Excellence In Care Grants Awards. Palm tree decorations and outfits embellished with feathers, gems, and the like reflected the theme—Caribbean Carnivale—as did tunes spun by DJ Madrid.

WEDNESDAY

dining guide

You’ve logged your 10k steps at theMart; now it’s time to refuel at one of these recently opened eateries!

[$] Affordable. [$$] Moderate. [$$$] Expensive.

fresh pick!

Lady May [$$]

Tucked behind the Wrigley Building in River North, this cocktail-forward eatery from Kentucky-born Big Brother alum Memphis Garrett is an ode to southern charm. The surroundings tell the love story of Lady May; expect oral details and a quaint, romantic air. Chef de cuisine Austin Blake’s menu features snacks like boiled peanut hummus with Cajun peanut oil and crudité or deviled eggs with caviar alongside dishes such as short rib helper, its fresh rigatoni paired with bone marrow and black tru e, and a pork chop with tallow sweet potato and collard greens. For cocktails try the sotol pineapple mojito, adorned with a brûléed wedge of the tropical fruit or, perhaps, the key lime margarita— and don’t skip the fried ice cream for dessert. 405 N. Wabash Avenue; 773-360-3500.

Asador Bastian [$$$]

Opened just three months ago in an 1883 townhouse, this heralded chophouse from chef Doug Psaltis has a Basque spin. He takes culinary inspiration from the asadors of San Sebastián, Spain, aging the beef on the hoof to develop a richer avor. The prime cut is the Txuleton: a thickcut rib steak grilled on the bone over coal and sliced to share. Add crispy artichokes and a bone marrow–potato puree as sides, and don’t forget dessert from pastry chef Hsing Chen: rum cake or a burnt Basque cheesecake. Small bites and drinks are served in the ground- oor bar room (walk-ins welcome), while the moodily lit second-level dining room is for those with reservations.

214 W. Erie Street; 312-800-8935.

Atelier [$$$]

Seasons guide the cuisine at this American restaurant, helmed by rising executive chef and James Beard nalist Christian Hunter and situated in the space that formerly housed Elizabeth (and inheriting that eatery’s sta and kitchen). Hunter gets inspired by the latest o erings from the best Midwestern farms, nutritional anthropology, and sustainable production. “More than just an expression of oneself, food is an expression of an environment,” he explains. The tasting menu ($190 per person) changes frequently, with unusual items

WEDNESDAY

such as rutabaga pappardelle, cardamom sourdough, and yuzu posset. We call him one to watch. 4835 N. Western Avenue; 773-681-0651.

Bambola [$$]

Bonhomme Group’s Michelin-starred executive chef Marcos Campos explores spices once traded on the Silk Road at this restaurant inspired by cultural exchange between Asia and Europe. Istanbul as a historic gateway between East and West is a touchstone, but there’s also dishes from Italy, China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Greece. Think sardine taramasalata in one corner and Szechuan cucumbers with whipped tofu and garlic chili crisp in another. For mains, try the suckling pig with reroasted Urfa-spiced apricot jam and an apple-fennel salad or go for whole branzino with scallion-mochi pancakes, sa ron fried rice, and mandarin sweet chili. Nonalcoholic drinks are a mainstay, with spirit-free cocktails as original as any other libation on the menu (no boring diet cokes for sober diners here). The interior design is top notch, featuring ornate handblown chandeliers and a standout 40-foot dining table by Foster + Partners. 1402 W. Randolph Street; 312-526-3983.

Coquette [$$]

Step inside and be transported to a pink-and-peach Parisian dream—a little New Wave, a little Bauhaus, a lot idiosyncratic. The 40-seat French restaurant and wine bar’s immersive surroundings (starring groovy retro tiles) is just the start. Interaction is part of the experience; for instance, guests are o en

invited behind the bar for complimentary pours and to select albums from the Coquette record collection to play during the evening. The fare is traditional French—think steak au poivre, onion soup, and salad niçoise. Fun fact: It’s right by Bambola, also on our hot list, and from the same hospitality group, Bonhomme. 165 N. Ogden Avenue; 312-929-3448.

Indienne [$$$]

Situated in a 19th-century printing warehouse, chef Sujan Sarkar’s eatery is Indian ne dining at its very best. Try the six-course seasonal tasting menu for $120, each dish exquisitely plated, or select from à la carte options such as chicken malai tikka with leeks, amul cheese, and pistachio dukkah or jackfruit katsu with lemon sour cream and dum ki gravy. “While Indian cuisine is growing in popularity due to hardworking immigrant families, it doesn’t yet have its footing in mainstream American ne dining,” Sarkar says. “Too o en, Indian food is viewed as a to-go or casual dining option, rather than something you would enjoy as a sophisticated dining experience.” Indienne seeks to change that. Of note: It’s open Mondays, a rarity in Chicago, and thus perfect for NeoCon-goers.

217 W. Huron Street; 312-291-9427.

The Golden Girls Kitchen Chicago [$$]

Are you a fan of The Golden Girls? Then you’ll want to check out the new traveling pop-up restaurant in Wicker Park that’s inspired by the iconic sitcom. The ticketed dining experience includes your choice

of a Golden Main and a slice of cheesecake. (Add sides, desserts, beverages, and exclusive merch on arrival, as you like.) Dishes include the bacon lettuce potato sandwich (say it fast) with fries and Blanche’s Georgia-style cookies. But what you’re really here for is the campy set design straight out of the TV show: Snap a photo in Blanche’s boudoir, complete with shag carpet and palm-print bedspread, or pretend to chat with the ladies through the girls’ yellow kitchen phone.

1367 N. Milwaukee Avenue (inside Whiskey Business); check bucketlisters.com for tickets.

Thomas & Dutch [$$]

This American restaurant in Evanston from Farmheads hospitality group dubs itself “a modern Midwest gathering place serving elevated comfort food.” It’s a half-hour drive (or train ride) from theMart to the North Shore, but if you’re in the mood for getting out of the city center, Thomas & Dutch could suit the group. Farm-fresh classics include beef Wellington, grilled rack of lamb, and birthday cake or peach cobbler for dessert. Unique cocktails include the beetroot Manhattan made with rye, pickled beet, and mushroom plus a sloe gin zz that adds tart cherry and rhubarb to the mix. Of note: Tip is included in the bill to provide a consistent income for all members of the team.

703 Church Street, Evanston; 847-492-9700.
