CARAMEL meyer lemon, cinnamon perfume

            Our last taste came to us on "the squid"!  It wasn't the legendary PB&J (technically we got that in the hamachi course), but a cinnamon sugar dusted tempura caramel ball stuck on the end of a cinnamon stick.  We were told to pull the cinnamon stick-caramel ball off the squid and to eat the caramel bit.  Warm melty caramel with preserved meyer lemon rind was punctuated with the firey aroma of our aromatic utensil.  Yummy, fun and wonderful with our teas, this was a great end to a wonderful evening.

…
Wait, I forgot to mention, as we were the last to be in the house at this point it time (it was closing in on 1am), we were able to intensely speak with Olivia Alazet Young (she's awesome) about the restaurant, the cuisine, and the celebrities  who had recently started to give the restaurant their attention (celebrity clientele).  We were told our area of the dining room was called the "Rock Star" as the table where The Barenaked Ladies sat at was the same one that U2, etc have all dined at.  Very cool.  We were also graciously given a tour of the rest of the restaurant, including a trip to the kitchen where we met Chef Achatz.  I did gush in my gratitude for the special course.  What a great way to cap off a super culinary trip to Chicago.
