Chicago Bites - Restaurant Reviews & Dining Podcast

When the juh ki pan puri arrived, we didn't know how to eat it let alone pronounce it.

Vermilion fuses Indian and Latin fare and features a separate menu especially for vegetarians. Intrigued, Tammy and I went there with friends for a multicultural Thanksgiving feast. Were the spicy combos enough to overshadow negligent service? Listen in and find out!

Is there such a thing as high-end Indian food, and if so, is the high-end price worth it? In this week's show, we venture to Marigold to answer both questions. Tune-in to hear about chutneys, sag paneer and the importance of paper product in your diet.

Show notes: The dessert we mention in the podcast but could not remember was ginger creme brulee. Apologies to all!
