The Tavern on Rush in Chicago’s Gold Coast is where Chef John Gatsos creates this simple but outstanding flatbread and cheese appetizer.
TAVERN FLATBREAD: Chef’s daily selection of artisan cheese served with freshly baked flatbread and a side of lavender honey.

Lavender honey with seasoned goat cheese is perfect.

Warm and fluffy, doughy and lightly seasoned with fresh parsley, this flatbread melts in your mouth.

A picture is worth a thousand words and on this gorgeous sunny day one photo just wasn’t enough!

Aunt Linda, Leek and Mushroom Flatbread, Honey Ice Cream, Flourless Chocolate Cake and Wine!

What to do when your favorite aunt comes into to town on a cold and rainy Spring day? Eat, of course!
And we did! Right up until we went to bed. It was sinful but the celebration just couldn’t end.
She lives so far away and comes to town so rarely…

Mushroom and Leek flatbread at 87 West, seated next to the fireplace was the perfect setting for a cozy chat.
The warmth of the fire took the chill off…

Arugula tops off the flatbread and adds nice balance to the creamy rich cheeses.

Off to my favorite spot, Tartine Bistro for great wine!
Reza, the amazing bartender knows how to pick his wines. He never dissapoints.
Peanut butter accents rich dark chocolate!

This honey ice cream was a pleasant surprise on warm berry cobbler. Mouth watering delicious!
They make it in house and it is subtle, creamy and delicious!

Avocado and Brie Flatbread with Honey Mustard Sauce

This surprising combination was a nice twist on your usual flatbread.
I will definitely play with this; deconstruct, and see what I can come up with.
It was very tasty, I’m even thinking salad, burritos, etc.
I love trying something new!
After a long night of rockin’ out with The School of Rock we needed food.

These kids are fantastic!
It’s so much fun to watch this young talent sing from their souls!
