Chef Week: Prairie Fire
Throughout Chicago Chef Week, which runs through Sunday, we will be bringing you a menu from one of the participating restaurants for you to enjoy. Today's spotlight is from Prairie Fire, 215 North Clinton:
Lunch:
Starters: a farm salad of Three Sisters Garden greens, shaved Parmesan, roasted vegetables, apples and herb vinaigrette. Entrees include a local omelette made with farm eggs, cheddar and Slagel Family Farm ham, a sirloin burger topped with mild blue cheese and served with potato wedges and a thick-sliced grilled tomato. Rich double chocolate cookies and double layer spice cake with cream cheese icing are the dessert choices.
Dinner:
Starters: La Quercia prosciutto and Capriole Farm goat cheese pizza with pea shoot tendrils, crisp apple and sherry-honey vinaigrette, or shrimp rolls with spicy dipping sauce. Entrees: Tallgrass Beef slow-braised barbecue brisket, housemade Italian sausage over creamy local polenta or sautéed Lake Superior whitefish with roasted portobello mushrooms and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. Prairie Fire's signature double chocolate cake is for dessert.
