A Tough Walnut to Crack!

Hi-ho, the editors are back from Champaign-Urbana after 10 long days of researching yumminess (and researching researching) for the Monz. Today Monz did not wait for yumminess to come to him, he went to the yumminess, again with Mrs. Monz, to the famous Walnut Room at Marshall Field's for their signature chicken pot pie, with mandarin orange salad and some crandberry juice. Monz and all the editors have fond memories of this eatry, having been escorted their as children and having escorted friends alike. The EIC particularly likes their cinnamon ice cream (the light, subtle flavor cinnamon, not the hot candy flavor cinnamon) on top of apple pie. Thus we are sad that Macy's is taking over and changing the name: the food may be the same but the experience won't be.

As we were saying, our exhaustive search of Champaign-Urbana produced the following recommended lunch for Monz: a dish we found at Radio Maria: coffee crusted steak filet, served in a light vanilla bean cream sauce with sweet potato and assorted roasted vegetables. And if you, dear reader, are eager to try this mouth watering dish,here's a recipe to start you off!
