Do This: Goose Island Beer Dinner @ Urban Belly

One of the boldest moves made by a local chef in the past year was Bill Kim's move from the white tablecloths of Le Lan to the more comfortable and low-key atmosphere of Urban Belly. Kim's kim chi, pork belly and rice cake stew that he made for Hot Chocolate's fourth anniversary dinner is one of the best dishes i've eaten so far in this short year.

On May 11, Kim and Goose Island are teaming up for a beer dinner. The cost is $40 $45 and certain to sell out. Here's hoping that stew makes the menu, which will also continue the promotion of Goose Island's revamped Reserve line. Call for more info to 773-583-0500.
