They had me until it was served

Bacon & Egg ice cream. Sounds nummy and custardy with salty bacon as a nice balance. Then they go and fuck with it by serving it all foo-foo:

It's called OVERKILL people!

ewww. yeah, the presentation is stupid what with the drops of maple syrup and all. And I wouldnt want to eat the tomato compote with the ice cream. EW!

I recently had brioche donuts and hot fudge at a restaurant in wicker park, which came with a side of candy corn. WHY? the dish does not demand candy corn! It's like stoners invented the menu.

Reminds me of the time the boy and I tried tomato ice cream in Japan.

Basically the only point was to take pictures of the ridiculous faces we made. It certainly wasn't worth eating without a camera.

(It was 3am at some kind of wannabe Denny's joint…)

They took something kind of weird and pushed it over the edge with a bunch even weirder things. CANDIED MOREL MUSHROOMS! WTF!!! And what the hell are you going to do with three tiny drops of maple syrup on a plate?!?! This has nothing to do with food tasting good, and everything to do with pretentious art exhibits where people who want to look sophisticated stand around and mutter, "Very nice."
