Levitski's Populist Approach to Menu Development

Following up on yesterday's profiles in Time Out Chicago and the Tribune on the return of Dale Levitski to the kitchen at Sprout comes this little bit of information. In an effort to give diners a feel for the dishes on Sprout's $60 prix fixe menu, Levitski has launched a project called SproutCrowd, a multisource platform for Sporut's customers to offer Levitski feedback on menu items, quality of their dining experience and whether a $60 prix fixe menu is too pricey, too cheap or just right.

To participate, you can follow Sprout's facebook page, twitter feed (@SproutCHI), or by visiting Levitski's blog on the Sprout website. Levistki
