Glimpse …a social collective experience

Take Gaztro-Wagon, Fritz Pastry, and Hum Spirits & the evil genius behind them all, and combine them into a week long pop-up restaurant and you know you’re in for a good time. But you don’t realize how good until you sit down in Logan Square Kitchen for your meal.

“A social collective experience” means that your entire table needs to agree on every course of the meal. Hopefully you & your friends like the same types of food. Luckily, our table did pretty well with this.

Our choices. We weren't a dessert kind of table.

My cocktail. Rather, this is one of quite a few of them that I had. My favorite of the night. This was the “tasting” size.

Hum / Homemade Ginger Beer / Basil / Balsamic / Citrus

Lovely start to the night. This dish had mixed reactions at our table. I liked it.

Course 1: Whitefish / Grapefruit / Yucca / Vanilla / Fennel

Love love love love this. My favorite dish & my worst picture. Whoops. I’d like it again please.

Course 2: Trout / Cauliflower / Golden Raisins / Caperberry / Foie 'brown butter'

So many Silence of the Lambs jokes. How did I not order a chianti? Yet, I still was able to pay attention to how enjoyable this was. There wasn’t a speck left on the plate.

Course 3: Fava Beans / Morels / English Peas / Leek Jus

Patterson loved this. Said it was like chicken pot pie.

Course 4: Pheasant / Brioche / Mushroom / Celery Root

I’d been waiting for this all night. Truffle honey. TRUFFLE HONEY! Good on anything you put it on, truffle honey could save the world. At least this one. Glimpse closes tonight. I’m heading over to stand outside the kitchen door & see if there’s any of this left.

Course 5: Sesame Chili Cracker / TRUFFLE HONEY / Candied Pecans / Quince / Humboldt Fog / Drunken Goat / Manchego

Wonderful night, with delicious food & company. Sadly, it’s a one time thing. Wish it was going to be around longer — or that I’d ordered more trout.
