Brand-New Avenues

If you booked a room at the Peninsula Chicago this month with the intention of spending a luxurious evening at its flagship restaurant, Avenues, you were unfortunately met with disappointment (and we feel so bad for you, Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags). Chef Curtis Duffy closed the place for January for some rest and retooling. But come Wednesday, Avenues is back - and according to MenuPages, its "spring" (a little optimistic, no?) menu is full of surprises. We're especially interested in "Consomme of it's Carcass," not least because of the grammatical error.
