The Purple Pig

Friday = Date Night!

We debated a ton this week about where to go next and what restaurant deserved to make the Reservations at Home cut. We decided to head back to one of our favorite restaurants in the city, The Purple Pig Chicago (thanks Remy and Rosie for the find). It has some of the best charcuterie (copious amounts of meat products), cheeses and a variety of hot, cold, and fried Mediterranean dishes, not to mention a ton of great and affordable wines by the glass, quarter, half and full bottles.

Our order included:
Cheese Plate with Manchego, Big Ed's, and Quadrillo di Bufula
2 orders of roasted corn with mushrooms and walnuts (we ended up getting the last order of the night)
Prosciutto bread balls
White bait "french fries of the sea"
Liver and pork neck pate

Sunday's challenge will include our version of the roasted corn and white bait "french fries of the sea."

Fingers-crossed we can compete with this great place.
