glencoeanchor.com dining out the glencoe anchor | November 29, 2018 | 23 A taste of seven 22CM editors offer up samplings for full-course meal Staff Report Calories don’t count this time of the year, right? Although that’s likely a case of wishful thinking on our end, 22nd Century Media editors are taking that claim to heart. On the heels of everyone’s favorite meal of the year, we’re taking it one step further, loosening our belts once more. So, before we all join together in post-holiday regret, let’s bask in glory of food again and check out these fine-dining options: Mini cheeseburgers (entree) — Foodstuffs, Glencoe Whether you are planning a meal for your family or a large holiday party, Foodstuffs in downtown Glencoe can fulfill your needs. Every day, the shop has a display case full of various entrees to choose from. The best part about it? You don’t have to even lift a finger because they are already premade. Last week, I visited Foodstuffs at 388 Park Ave. to see what they had to offer for lunch and dinner and I was pleasantly surprised to find a large amount of opinions. A heaping plate of mini cheeseburgers was calling my name, so I settled upon three of the sliders for my entree. “They are made fresh in the kitchen at this location,” said Andreea Nemes, the manager at Foodstuffs. I got the burgers packaged to go and warmed them in the microwave for less than a minute back at the office. The mini buns became soft and the cheese on top of the burger and underneath (score!) melted upon the seasoned burger. It was delicious — and super easy to reheat. I learned that finding an entree at Foodstuffs is very convenient and helps take the stress away from preparing a meal during the holidays. This week from Thursday-Sunday, Nov. 29-Dec. 2, there are various entrees including: ginger beef stir fry, grilled shrimp quesadillas, skinless fried chicken, Risa’s turkey burgers and a Hanukkah menu. Foodstuffs is open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday- Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. For the weekly menu, visit www.foodstuffs.com/glencoe. Crostini (appetizer) — Convito Cafe & Market, Wilmette For the past 35 years, the folks at Wilmette’s Convito Cafe & Market have been perfecting their crostinis. Judging by the popularity of these Italian appetizers, the effort has paid off. “We are creative with our toppings. We have four to five different options for any catering order that travel well and are delicious crowd-pleasers,” said Candace Warner, owner of Convito. Crostini, which means “little crusts” in Italian, consist of small slices of grilled bread and toppings. Convito uses extra virgin olive oil and fresh ingredients. The caponata crostini (24 for $20 take out/ catering or $7 as a shared plate appetizer) is made of eggplant, tomato, black Seven North Shore courses Salad: Jenniper Salad Appetizer: Crostini Soup: Cod fish soup Entree: Mini cheeseburgers Entree Option 2: Penne pasta with tomato cream sauce Side: Brussel sprouts Dessert: Gelato olives and sweet and sour dressing. “It’s a great dip or spread for a variety of items. You can also eat it by itself,” Warner said. “It’s a difficult recipe to make just right.” Convito sells many crostinis during the holiday season for catering and parties. Warner said crostinis are also ordered often during the summer as they feature fresh tomatoes. Other popular options include apple and brie, and chicken liver mousse on multi-grain crostini with cornichons. Following increased business for Thanksgiving, Convito looks to remain busy for the remainder of the holiday season. The cafe will feature dishes that best reflect the homey flavors of the Italian countryside with a Christmas Eve brunch and Christmas Day dinner planned. The food and wine market has also rolled out its holiday menus with what it calls an “in-depth selection of Italian prepared foods as well as other dishes from around the world.” Story by Eric DeGrechie, Managing Editor The mini cheeseburgers are one of the many rotating entree options at Foodstuffs in Glencoe. Megan Bernard/22nd Century Media Jenniper salad — Three Tarts Cafe, Northfield When a dish has been around for 20 years, you know it’s working. That’s the case at Three Tarts for the Jenniper salad, which is a customer favorite, said Kate Rooney, co-owner of the bakery and cafe at 301 Happ Road. “We’re been making it for at least 20 years; it’s one of those originals,” Rooney added. The Jenniper salad ($6.30) has mixed greens, toasted walnuts, sliced cucumber, roasted onion, goat cheese, and, not to be missed, dried cranberries. The latter was an addition from an employee named Jen. “She always added dried cranberries to the goat cheese salad so it was named after her,” Rooney said. The flavorful and unique salad — one of my personal North Shore favorites — is dressed with the cafe’s balsamic vinaigrette and comes with a small roll on the side.
