Each day in December, I’m celebrating my best bites (and sips) in 2012, posted in chronological order.
Why it’s a Best Bite: Forgive me, for the photo doesn’t do this dish justice (and was taken after devouring a lot of it), but I had to include it among my Best Bites, as it was unlike any garlic bread I’d ever tasted. Michael Jordan’s seems to eschew the idea that a stack of buttery, garlicky bread slices is enough of a luxury on its own. Instead, the server brings the tower of bread to the table, then pours a silky Maytag bleu cheese fondue all over it. All I can say is that soaking up every last bit of that sauce was beyond heavenly. Since then, it’s been tough to walk down Michigan Avenue with friends and not find an excuse to duck in for a drink and this bread.
The details: Michael Jordan’s Steak House, 505 N Michigan Ave., Chicago.
