The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

Bagna Cauda What?

At about 5am last night (this morning) after a long night of dancing, drinking, making friends, and eating tacos, I declared to my roommate Heather that I was going to cook her dinner the next day. I don't know why I declared this... but cook her dinner, I did!
After downloading the epicurious app onto my iPhone I hit the grocery store and started cooking up a storm. Heather came home from work to a perfectly timed meal of arugula and avocado salad, grilled catfish, fresh artichokes, french bread, bagna cauda, and sangria.

What is Bagna Cauda, you ask?
It's a delicious garlic and oil dipping sauce for both the artichokes and the bread. Ingredients: 3 heads of garlic, anchovies, butter, olive oil.
Heather calls it "fucking heaven."
