Uno Pizzeria and Grill more than just deep-dish pizzas

B

UILDING ITS brand on a pizza variation created back in the 1940s, Uno Chicago Grill has leveraged that signature deep-dish pie into a causal dining phenomenon.

Uno’s richly visual “Riverfront” location in Springfield stands just south of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The restaurant offers a variety of seating options as well as a large convivial bar.

Chicago deep-dish pizza headlines the menu at Uno, with both chef-curated and “create your own” pies available in three sizes.

Complementing those deep-dish pies are thin-crust options such as a Veggie Extravaganza ($13.29) and a Spicy Hawaiian ($13.79).

Among the entree listings can be found the likes of spicy Rattlesnake Pasta ($15.29) and Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese ($16.29). Other main dish offerings include Herbrubbed Chicken ($13.79), Sirloin Tips ($16.99) and Lemon Basil Salmon ($18.29).

Starter selections range from an oversized Knot Your Average Pretzel ($9.49) to Shrimp & Crab Dip ($13.79).

We began by sharing an order of Crispy Steak & Cheese Spring Rolls ($12.99), a recent addition to the Uno menu.

The presentation got high marks; Uno takes considerable pains to make the food it serves look tasty. The three crispy rolls had been bias cut and arranged herringbone style on a rectangular plate; a bed of lettuce and a ramekin of horseradish cream completed the layout.

The crispy wonton shells, with their cheesesteak-style filling of shaved beef, caramelized onion, and melted cheddar, disappeared in short order.

A house specialty, Chicken Spinoccoli Pasta ($16.29), was less enthusiastically received.

The idea seemed interesting; chicken “spinocoli” is a rolled chicken breast filled with mozzarella, feta, chopped broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, and garlic. Given all those ingredients, we expected the dish to have a rather distinctive flavor profile, but instead we found the roll-up bland and uninteresting.

Ditto for the bed of pasta on which the chicken was served. In addition to being

quite soft (we’re fussy about cooked pasta), the penne was drenched in a thin alfredo sauce meekly flavored with dried basil.

A personal-sized Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza ($13.29) proved to be much to our liking. The crust had a crisp richness that suggested piecrust aspirations, and the fillings were generously piled on. As the deep-dish style dic-

tates, a chunky tomato sauce covered the meat “toppings” and cheese.

We also sampled one of the Grill’s “thin crust” pizzas, choosing a newly introduced variation that’s garnished with pulled pork along with two varieties of cheese, caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeno slices. An interesting pie, thanks to the sweet, smoky pork; the jalapenos provided

high-voltage flavor jolts.

The crust was another matter; the pie served us seemed pale-crusted and under baked.

Entrees and pizzas are served a la carte, so salad is an extra-charge item. We opted to try a Berry and Goat Cheese Salad ($3.29) and found ourselves pleased with the experience. An assortment of SEE UNO, PAGE E13

Costco’s Kirkland wines are outstanding bargains

Y

OU CAN FIND ALmost everything — often in large, family-sized quantities – in the warehouse-like Costco Wholesale stores scattered around the country.

And wine is no exception.

But it’s not just discounted bottles by familiar wineries that you can find here.

Costco also sells Kirkland wines, its own exclusive brand of wine which you can only find in Costco stores.

And like many things for sale at Costco, the prices are astoundingly low.

Spanish Riojas for $6.89 a bottle.

An Italian Prosecco for $6.99.

Even a real Champagne from France’s Champagne region for only $19.99 a bottle.

But are these wines any good?

That’s what I set out to find out recently by putting these wines to the test.

I tasted eight different Kirkland wines purchased at Costco’s West Springfield store, ranging in price from $6.89 to $19.99 a bottle.

One was a real disappointment. But that was the exception to the rule. Most were very good. And a few were absolutely spectacular.

I am also impressed by where the Kirkland wines came from around the world.

In most cases, these wines come from iconic regions for a particular grape, wine

regions that the average consumer has probably heard of before.

The Kirkland Sauvignon Blanc’s from New Zealand’s Marlborough region.

Its Pinot Noir is from Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

And the Champagne is from Champagne.

Let me add that you do not need to be a Costco member to buy wine at Costco Wholesale stores, something that many people might not realize. I know several people were surprised when I told them.

So don’t worry if you don’t have a Costco membership.

And if you do, feel free to stock up on as much Kirkland wine as you want – if you have

Hard to be tolerant of people who don’t like beer

I

TRY TO BE A TOLERant, forgiving and open-minded type of guy.

I believe that being open to new ideas, considering others’ beliefs, respecting other cultures’ customs and generally being nonjudgmental is a good path to take.

But it’s getting increasingly difficult to understand one particular breed of person.

No, I’m not speaking of people of any particular political stripe, nor devotees to certain religious beliefs. Nor am I’m referring to any of the various stripes of social warriors out there.

Nope, I’m talking about people who simply say that they “don’t like beer.”

What?

You don’t like “beer”?

Let’s get this straight, because I’d love to understand you.

Do you not like the industrial lager that still makes up almost 90 percent of the overall beer market? I’m not a huge fan either, but most of it is drinkable. But OK, if you find it all too thin or bland or interchangeable, and it’s not your thing, I hear you.

But do you not like dark, malty, imported brews that (probably) have been available on these shores longer than you’ve been alive? A lot of them seem heavy but in fact, Guinness Stout is as “light” as a beer can get, in both alcohol and calories.

But maybe those dark roasted flavors aren’t for you, either. What about the hoppy beers that have been all the rage for about, oh, I don’t know, one squillion years now?

Don’t make that “bitter beer face” at me. Yes, hops are a bittering agent, but in case you haven’t kept up

George Lenker Beer Nut

with the times over the past few decades, they are ohh so much more than that.

Like grapefruit or other citrus flavors? Hops. Like crisp piney aspects to a beer ? Hops. Like some grassy or sumptuous floral notes?

Maybe some earthy underpinnings? A touch of spice.

Hops, hops, hops.

They also impart a lot of delicious bitter flavors, too.

But they are so much more.

Even non-hoppy beer is too “beery” for you, you say.

OK, have you tried a Belgian wheat beer? Shock Top and Blue Moon May be looked down on by some beer snobs, but they are both popular and they are both beers. Also, Hefeweizen beers often provide a clove or “bubblegum” aspect.

Still not budging? What about checking out some beers by Anita Brewing Co., such as Purple Haze or Strawberry Lager? Look, you won’t catch me drinking these anytime soon, or ever, for that matter. I like beer without any extra additives.

But if like the old tart and sweet 1-2 combination, these beers may be for you.

Nothing? No sale? I could go on an on, but I see I’m not getting anywhere.

OK, maybe you don’t like beer.

That’s OK, too. We can still be friends. And, hey, at least I don’t have to worry about you raiding my stash.

2016 Kirkland Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Oregon ($14.79 at Costco) Country: Willamette Valley, Oregon Grapes: 100 percent Pinot Noir Tasting notes: The best red wine of the tasting, this full-bodied, dry Pinot Noir from Oregon’s legendary Willamette Valley was outstanding over a two day period.

Upon first opening, the wine abounded with big, dried cherry-like flavors. Over the course of two days, those flavors became even softer and more muted without losing its unique character. There’s a reason why many of France’s best wine makers from Burgundy have been growing Pinot Noir grapes in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for years.

And this wine proves you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy a great Oregon Pinot Noir. I highly recommend it.
