Vin Chicago Culinary Connection - Meal #5
   
Dinner for Two from Abigail's American Bistro in Highland Park!
         
For the fifth meal in our Vin Chicago Culinary Connection, we partner with Chef  Michael Paulsen , proprietor of Abigail's American Bistro at 493 Roger Williams Avenue in Highland Park.

Named after his eldest daughter, Abigail's offers a true farm-to-table experience. One of our favorite fine dining restaurants on the North Shore, Chef Paulsen puts out food with a quality and elegance that equals what you'll find in the hippest, most food-centric neighborhood in the city. 

If you've not yet dined at Abigail's, we think you're going to love the meals he and manager Cindy Jarvis - a longtime friend of the Vin Chicago family - have created.

Each meal includes a salad and an appetizer along with two (2) portions of the main course. As is tradition at Abigail's, each meal also comes with their signature Cheddar-Scallion Biscuits and a selection of Housemade Mini Cookies.

If you select the NY Strip, please include the temperature you would like each of the two steaks cooked.  The dinners can be ordered for pickup between 5:00 and 7:30pm on Wednesday, April 29th, Thursday, April 30th and Friday, May 1st.  When you place your order, please indicate a pickup time in the Comments box.  

To allow the Chef time to prepare your meal, orders must be placed no later than 11:00am the day of your meal.
