Cheese Swine and Wine. Michelle joined me on my work trip to Chicago this week and we ate our way through town, and saw Hamilton. My favorite meal place this trip was The Purple Pig on Michigan Avenue. The Purple Pig encourages shared dishes and our waitress suggested we split three dishes. We chose the Grilled Broccoli, the Ricotta Gnocchi, and the Chicken Thigh Kebabs. This was plenty of food for us, but I couldn’t turn down the dessert menu. For dessert, we ordered the Sicilian Iris. This meal stood out to me because the menu was unique and it had a nice atmosphere and I always love the option of sharing meals at a table. The waitress was friendly and gave good suggestions. I definitely look forward to visiting again!
