What is the best oil to cook the crab cakes?.Can I make the crab cakes ahead of time?.I promise you’re in for an excellent evening. It was definitely an evening to remember, and even without having enough room to try the desserts, the time spent at Eddie V’s with a good friend was the only sweet end that we needed.ĭon’t forget, the Moonshine Event runs until November 24th! The next time you gather with friends, you should head to Eddie V’s.

Then we ordered the Gnocchi with shiitake mushroom, asparagus, with sundried tomato pesto. I’ve had to have it after tasting it at a media event a few weeks before, but I think it tasted even better this time around! Crab Fried Rice We also ordered the Crab Fried Rice cooked with mushrooms and asparagus. The flavor was unforgettable, and I hope to go back and re-order in the future again. The Alaskan Black Cod’s creamy and flaky white flesh and mild sweetness were well-balanced with Sugar Snap Pease, Shiitakes, and Miso Broth. We also ordered the Crab Fried Rice and Gnocchi. The Chilean Bass was our first choice from the menu, but Executive Chef Partner, Jose Gonzalez, suggested that we should try the Misoyaki Butterfish, an Alaskan Black Cod, and we were so pleased we did. When it came to ordering our main meal for the evening, we had a tough time selecting what to order because everything sounded exquisitely delicious. WhistlePig on Large Ice – a 10-year rye whiskey.Hope Diamond – Grey Goose vodka, grapefruit liqueur, lemon, butterfly pea flower tea, and a diamond ice cube.24 Karat – Belvedere vodka, Grand Marnier, peach liqueur, raspberries, Roederer rosé and topped with a gold sugar rim.The Bee’s Knees – Plymouth gin, honey, and fresh lemon.The Gatsby Sour – Woodford Reserve bourbon, cabernet, fresh lemon, and angostura bitters.Moon Shine Event cocktail selections are: The cocktails were lovely and delicious, and the perfectly cooked and paired filet mignon was so savory! By the way, that Moon Shine pricing is a steal, and we even talked about going back again for another round of Moon Shine before it ends on November 24th! For cocktails, we ordered the “Roaring 20s” inspired The Gatsby Sour & Hope Diamond. To start, because Eddie V’s is currently running a Moon Shine Event, a special offering available all evening of handcrafted Prohibition-era style cocktail with a filet mignon teaser for $20, we decided to give that a try. So when Eddie V’s Prime Seafood invited Chicagonista to get a full-on dining experience and to check out their newest Autumn menu, I was beyond excited! So, my #ChicagonistaLife Chicago adventure cohort, Nancy Loo, and I were there to check it out.
I would hate to ruin such delicate ingredients. The complex and versatile flavors and textures of lobsters, crabs, shrimps, fishes, and octopus, is something I often crave, but I leave it for someone else to prepare/cook them.
