Do This: Dessert and Cocktail at mk The Restaurant
By L. Stolpman in Food on Jun 3, 2010 4:00PM
It is no secret that we're fans of mk. Pastry Chef Tony Galzin once made a sorbet that caused our dinner companion to close her eyes and moan. (See our interview with Tony here and a video of Chef Galzin plating dessert here.) He's struck the fine balance between sweet and savory and is now turning his expertise towards making the most of Chicago's sustainable markets.
Each Wednesday, during its outdoor season, Chef Galzin will be heading to Green City Market to select seasonal produce and herbs (or anything else that catches his eye) to create a special dessert for the following day. The new dessert will be different from anything currently on the dessert menu and will highlight the fresh, seasonal ingredients from the market. The dessert will be paired with a market cocktail.
Seasonal dessert and cocktail will be $15 and will only be available on Thursday evenings. Knowing Tony, we think this is a trip worth making no matter where you dine. Please enjoy some pictures of Chef Galzin at the market and some of our favorite seasonal desserts from the chef.
mk is located at 868 N. Franklin.
