By a lovely coincidence, Elizabeth and Jen (co-owners of Liddabit Sweets) are on a 48-hour visit to Chicago for the Snacks and Sweets convention at the McCormick Center, and we get to meet them for dinner at Moto in the Fulton Market district.
It’s a neighborhood of warehouses in the process of gentrification, and the restaurant features very high concept molecular cuisine, interesting and fun. It’s as much entertainment as it is a culinary experience, fake mushrooms made from mushrooms, a freeze-dried mango “packing peanut” dipped in liquid nitrogen served with ginger beer that makes smoke come out your nose….lots of fun!
