white chocolate – food

Oh the calories…. On the other hand I suppose we must help out the economy…. This has been a week of lunching out as the merger rolls on and local vendors stop by for one last visit.
When you dine at White Chocolate in Naperville if you can eat on the patio ( not feasible when the temperature is 8 degrees ) or in the small room the experience is the best. The big room is too loud for my taste as it makes conversation difficult. But when it comes to the table, only good words come to mind.
Start with the Ahi tuna sushi
Then move to the soup, a tomato gin soup with mushrooms and a hint of bacon. It’s a bit salty but rich and creamy. It was perfect for dipping the pretzel bread which came with honeyed butter.
Their French Dip sandwich and fresh roasted beet salad. The prime-rib is thinly sliced and so tender that it really does melt in your mouth. Their home made creamy horse radish makes the perfect compliment to this wonderful sandwich.
For dessert, a desert with one extra “S” we tried the banana creme pie. It has a thick crumbly graham cracker crust, filling and white chocolate swirls. It is very good. A little espresso to try to keep me awake in the afternoon.
I always enjoy visits here, too bad with the merger this might be the last one…
We just came from a really awful meal … and you have just made me exceptionally hungry. 😉
a bad meal is so disappointing….
happy snacking!
I want to learn how to make my own creamy horse radish!
it is very good! My aunt used to make horse radish that was so strong it used to scare colds out of your body!
I can believe it! Do you have her recipe????
I’ll look.
You’re awesome – thank you!
Dessert sounds the best! 😉
man it was good, but today I had one even better… that’s tomorrow’s toast. I need a food intervention 🙂
Can’t you just wear your spandex under suit? 🙂
ha! I do have spandex — that bright yellow Mr Potato Head on the bicycle… that’s me 🙂
That looks incredible. I love pepper-encrusted ahi tuna. I’m so hungry now, darling!
isn’t it wonderful ? Hope you had some great treats today!
I said it before and I’l say it again! You know how to celebrate!!!!! 🙂
Yup, I believe in keeping the economy going too 🙂
Hi Eric — sometimes I guess I am a table patriot!
LOL – that’s a new one and a good one.
As an aside – I hope when the dust settles on the merger, all remains well, Bill.
Thanks Eric !
Looks yummy… Planning to go to Florida? Maybe there is a White Choc. Grill down there. Hope you are well.
Hi Gail — no offer yet, they are doing the director level now. Have to see what is on the table. We should do lunch – Thai ?
