"Cariño stands out as one of Chicago's most exciting fine dining destinations. Chef Norman Fenton's cooking reflects a deep respect for Latin American tradition alongside a drive to innovate. Whether you're a Michelin-starred tasting menu enthusiast or just looking for a well-earned splurge, it's a memorable experience worth the price, which starts at $200 per person. The tasting menu changes with the seasons, but a few favorites are permanent staples, including the ravioli."
"Filled with huitlacoche and bathed in a corn foam, the pasta is finished with fried corn silk, freeze-dried corn, popcorn, and cornflower. It's a full celebration of corn, sweet and rich, enhanced by a truffle butter sauce. The michelada course is a playful riff on the beer cocktail. An oyster is dressed with Clamato pearls and Modelo foam. Slurp it down, and it instantly evokes the flavors of the classic drink."
