Contemporary Quinoa Salad Art


We took a weekend trip to the Windy City for art, shopping, and numnumnums. While checking out the Jeff Koons show at the MCA we had a delightful lunch at the Wolfgang Puck cafe. The presentation of the dishes we ordered lived up to the context of the location. This sculptural quinoa salad was surrounded by a little moat of a mint-laced vinaigrette. Eating it was akin to an archaeological dig, uncovering layers of micro-greens, marinated mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and purple potatoes.

We also had a great experience at this tapas bar: http://www.mercatchicago.com/
