These are the things one misses when you leave town for a day. Aigre Doux, the River North bistro of husband/wife team Mohammad Islam and Malika Ameen, has shuttered its doors. A press release yesterday cited the recent passing of Ameen's father and a desire to focus on family as the reasons behind the closing. ameen will be keeping Aigre Doux fans updated on her and Islam's exploits on, where else, twitter.

So sad, Aigre Doux was one of my favorite restaurants (though I believe Chuck and I once discussed its successes and failures). It seemed to have the right mix of comfort and style in the food.
I will miss that sticky toffee pudding.
