  1. Golfer Luke Donald receives prize: $80,000 worth of beef

    <strong>ESPN.com reports:</strong> Northwestern grad Luke Donald won the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan last November, and on Tuesday he finally received part of his prize: a Miyazaki cow. Well, not the entire cow, because it was impossible to get the entire animal shipped here.

  2. Andrew Brochu leaving The Monarch to head up The Aviary kitchen

    Tribune critic
    Those of you who had "before June" in the when-will-Andrew-Brochu-leave-The-Monarch pool, collect your winnings. The highly regarded chef, whose resume includes three years with Grant Achatz at Alinea and who earned two Michelin stars for his work at...

  3. Golfer has no beef with long wait

    It's a story with legs. As reported Wednesday by ESPN's Darren Rovell, Luke Donald opted to claim his prize of about 200 pounds of Miyazaki beef after a winning a golf tournament in Japan. It's his cash cow, with an estimated retail value of $80,000.

  4. 'World's 50 Best' drops Alinea to 15th; El Celler de Can Roca is numero uno

    Tribune critic
    For the first time in three years, there’s a new restaurant on top of the world. In a mild upset, El Celler de Can Roca, in Girona, Spain, took top honors at Restaurant Magazine’s annual “World’s 50 Best Restaurants" awards...

  5. 50 Best Restaurants: The U.S. did better than you think, and where Thomas Keller ate after

    An American restaurant may not have walked off with the top spot on this year's World's 50 Best Restaurants list awards, which was sponsored by San Pellegrino and held in London on Sunday night, but the United States tied with France for most restaurants on the list, with six.

  6. The Monarch

    <strong>The Monarch</strong>.<strong> </strong>Opened in January, The Monarch is a single, narrow room whose front half is given over to bar space and whose back half contains a handful of tall tables. (An undeveloped backyard holds the promise of outdoor dining someday.) The cool thing is that Andrew Brochu, a highly talented chef whose cooking landed him a job at Alinea and secured two Michelin stars at Graham Elliot restaurant, is running the kitchen here. The vibe here is very laid back and mellow, but the high quality of the kitchen output is undeniable. Silky smooth foie gras mousse ($13), served with strawberry jam and toasted brioche, was so good we begged for extra bread (we were in No Foie Left Behind mode). Duck confit chilaquiles ($14) are surprisingly prim, stacked neatly (at least on arrival) with crisp tortilla layers under a sunny-side-up roof. Blackening spices kick the shrimp and grits with cheddar cheese ($13) into high gear, and brioche French toast slices are topped with precisely diced roasted apples and a surfeit of Chantilly cream ($9). The "box of cereal and milk" is a cute $2.50 touch (it's an actual box of cereal from a variety pack), as is the sweet-spicy supersoft pretzel, served with raisin cream cheese ($7).

  7. Bring on brunch

    Though Sunday brunch is a year-round option, warm and sunny weather is what brings out the crowds. I can attest to that, having spent most of the last 10 fairly miserable (weatherwise) weekends hitting one brunch after another; I don't think I found a single crowded dining room during all of February and March (Easter excepted), and reservations certainly were no problem. Brunch-friendly temperatures will be with us soon enough, and when they arrive, here are a few brunch spots, old and new, that will be worth checking out. Better still, visit them now, when tables are still easy to secure (Mother's Day excepted).

  8. At Trois Mec, diners must buy tickets upfront

    Last month, the manager of the Beverly Hills restaurant Red Medicine shamed diners who didn't turn up for their Saturday night reservations by calling them out on Twitter.

  9. Jonathan Gold | Restaurant review: On the M.A.K.E. for raw vegan cuisine

    If you are the kind of diner who gets hung up on first impressions, M.A.K.E., Matthew Kenney's raw-vegan restaurant in Santa Monica Place, may not be for you. It is not just on the dining deck but actually in the mall's food court, so to get to it you have to pass by any number of gadget shops and cheese counters. Its open-walled design makes it difficult to figure out where the food court ends and the dining room begins.

  10. Fat Rice: Pedigree not required

    Adrienne Lo and Abraham Conlon, the proprietors of the hugely popular new Chinese-Portuguese restaurant Fat Rice in Logan Square, are interesting looking, the kind of couple you see around town and wonder what their deal is.

  11. Phil Vettel: Four stars for Grace

    Given chef Curtis Duffy's curriculum vitae &mdash; his work at Alinea, the two Michelin stars awarded to Avenues restaurant on Duffy's watch &mdash; there really wasn't any question whether Grace, Duffy's first solo effort, would be good. Just how good.

  12. Iliana in Wonderland

    At one point of a dinner at Elizabeth restaurant, I was served a dark and rich maitake-mushroom tea (really a clarified broth) while a pure-white device on the table played Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit." Which made me think that chef/owner Iliana Regan is a smidge older, or a ton hipper, than I'd supposed. Probably both.
