I've always been a fan of Brassiere Jo's skate, and Brassiere Jo in general, though I'm sorry to hear the duck rillettes were just ok, I've had a hankering for rillettes since a recent outing at Old Town Social

I happened to be driving down Hubbard Street today and saw the Brasserie Jo signage being taken down and trucked away.
I'll miss those mustard marinated carrots and the two pates- one liver and one country style, which were really outstanding IMO. I always enjoyed the brandade and steak tartare as well as the calves liver, bacon and onions. Baguettes weren't that great.
And that silky creme caramel..."sigh"

Post #34 - August 31st, 2010, 7:10 amI know this sounds weird, but my biggest regret is that I never got to take my dog there."I've always thought pastrami was the most sensuous of the salted cured meats."

Post #35 - August 31st, 2010, 7:55 amOn Evil Ronnie's comment about the baguettes -- I actually broke a filling on one of their baguettes. Mighty expensive piece of crusty bread.
Liked their haricot verts and their steak frites. And I had friends who really liked their "Hopla" brew. Not sure on the spelling of that...
I always liked the idea of the shrimp in the bag but it never delivered what I thought it would deliver...

Post #37 - February 4th, 2011, 4:28 pmThere's some intriguing stuff on there (bacon steak?).
$5 for something called "drippings on toast" is hilarious.

Hey, a toast with drippings and a bottle of Bud Light only set you back 9 bucks (10 with the Cook County Tax)...

Post #39 - February 4th, 2011, 11:34 pmWhile I was immediately drawn to "French Soul Food", I wonder. Is it a tad too twee?Ava-"If you get down and out, just get in the kitchen and bake a cake."- Jean Strickland

I know you aren't big on vegetables but would you grab a shot, if you don't order it, of that French Soul Food Vegetable Cassoulet?

I used to play a bit of scrabble. That said twee & tony are 2 of my favorite words, along with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilcovolcanoconiosis. That one was a favorite to spell as a kid (can you tell I was the kid of older parents, who were academics ?
)
I'm also the kid who got to order what she wanted. Favorite kid's meal, when we were out, wasn't on the kid's menu. It was lobster with french fries. It was the only time I didn't want ketchup for my fries, melted butter was a perfect foil for those fries. Awww, thanks for triggering some very sweet childhood memories. They help now that I'm down to 1 living parent.

Post #45 - April 15th, 2011, 1:54 pmQuick question: I remember that Brasserie Jo was going to reopen as a similar, but different, brasserie, but I can't remember the name. Has it opened yet? I went to the leye site to look over names of their Chicago restaurants and none of those names sounded like what I remembered the new place being called. Thanks.
