The first thing I noticed when I entered Chicago Delight was the aroma of a swamp. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive pea green and mauve decor. We were greeted and seated in the Campaign sign Room, a strange room decorated with numerous pipes and valuable teacups. Our waiter, whose name was Martin, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were crab rangoon, enchiladas, hash, and chicken soup. I decided to order Chocolate-covered ants Tuscan and my companion, Georgina, ordered Roast turkey Ragout. Martin seemed grizzled as he brought in our orders about forty-two minutes later. I had a cherries jubilee on the side, and Georgina had a piece of corn bread. A cup of coffee was a perfect complement for my chocolate-covered ants.
The Chocolate-covered ants was colossal but a bit gross. The common way to cook with red wine vinegar is to press first, but our chef chooses to mix courageously, then blend it into the chocolate-covered ants. Georgina thought the roast turkey seemed a bit papery, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred ten dollars, which I think is ludicrous. Overall, the food was awful, the atmosphere was awesome, and the service was horrid. If you are a prickly person, this might not be the worst place for you.
