We’ve all heard some version of the urban legend where a customer requests the recipe for Neiman-Marcus chocolate chip cookies and gets the recipe along with a bill for $250.00. In revenge, said customer then distributes the recipe to everyone she knows to get her $250.00 worth out of old Neiman-Marcus.
With the help of TimeOut Chicago, you can replicate some of Chicago’s best restaurant recipes. The Hopleaf’s Belgian-style mussels, Avec’s chorizo-stuffed bacon-wrapped dates, L2O’s pain au lait … Take that Neiman-Marcus!
