Moto in Chicago
Unique and facinating, but just not that good. Click here to see pics and descriptions of all dishes. The image below is the edible menu that was printed using edible ink on a special printer

Andrea, enjoyed all the articles, have you ever been to Tru in Chicago? They serve unusual serving dishes, one shrimp cocktail was in a bowl set into another clear bowl with a live goldfish swimming in it.
Cheers, Jerry

No, never been. I actually have not experienced Goldfish sashimi like that, what a great concept. Was it tasty? Goldfish are like baby Koi, right? Which I think are similar to carp. So it must have tasted like Gefilte fish. You will have to let me know.

Hi Andrea, I didn't have it myself, just enjoyed watching my neighboring diner having it.
Cheers, Jerry

We we were foodietraveler last year for her birthday at Moto. Chicago was a fun adventure. Moto was a pathetic excuse for a science lab cum entertainment venue. The waiter was a poseur; the "food" consisted of a series of experiments that remotely resembled food and were marginally edible if at all. There are so many amazing restaurants in Chicago, traditional, contemporary, creative. Why waste a night on a food lab and pay for service with an attitude that told the guests, "you don't get it". If you enjoy Moto, you don't get cuisine!
