And if a dish comes with spaetzle, I will mostly likely order it, so I was especially impressed by this spot-on mustard variety. The soup course came in a close second-favorite, a chestnut bisque with a surprising combination of sweetness and complexity from allspice, sage, and rosemary marshmallow. <em><a title=\"Graham Elliot Bistro menu\" href=\"http:\/\/chicago.simpleviewcrm.com\/docs\/amenities\/GEB.pdf\">See full menu.<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2363\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2363\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/gebbananasplit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/gebbananasplit.jpg\" alt=\"Banana split with vanilla bean, candied hazelnut, and pretzel crumb \" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2363\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/gebbananasplit.jpg 552w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/gebbananasplit-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/gebbananasplit-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Banana split with vanilla bean, candied hazelnut, and pretzel crumb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Other notes:<\/strong> I loved the dessert presentation of a layered banana split in a mason jar.
