Flamingo and Fuego
Just finished watching 'Check, Please!' on WTTW-TV (not sure if it was new or a re-run) where they gave Flamingo in Mount Prospect a very favorable review. I had been tempted to pop-in as it looks inviting (it's a block away from ChoDang Tofu), so now it is towards the top of my list of restaurants to try. Unfortunately, they are now going to have the 'Check, Please!' wave of diners filling the restaurant for a couple of weeks. I'll have to bide my time.
Seeing Flamingo reminded me about something I was meaning to say about Fuego in Downtown Arlington Heights, since the holidays. I blogged a long time ago after it first opened, that I wasn't super impressed. Fate has pulled me back into Fuego a few times recently, and I want to officially give it an upgrade from my original blah opinion. My recent meals have charmed me especially a tilapia and jicama special they had on Christmas Eve that knocked my socks off. I don't know if anything changed with them or me, but It's on my fave restaurants list now.
