Loon — Chicago Pop-Up Dinner Series 🍽️✨

Went back to Loon with a friend for a condensed version of their tasting menu — still helmed by chef Devin, formerly of Michelin two-star 42 Gram. 🧅 Onion tart with fermented cheese and caramelized onions — tangy, sweet, and appetizing. 🐚 Minced scallop ceviche with grapes, pandan, and pickled cucumber — bright, fresh, and deliciously balanced. 🐟 Black cod with potato purée — silky, sweet fish paired with creamy potatoes. 🦪 Mussels with charred kale and kombu — briny and savory, though a bit salty. 🦢 Foie gras and fennel rhubarb roll — rich and decadent, though a bit too heavy for my taste. 🍮 Aloe vera jam tart — light, jiggly, and subtly sweet. My favorite dessert of the night! This remains a Michelin-caliber pop-up with Nordic-Japanese fusion that suits Asian palates. The only downside: we left not quite full — but their usual pop-ups run 12–13 courses, so you’ll likely be satisfied.
