I like to go there as my last stop of a weekend visit. Before taking off on a Sunday evening flight, I stop in for a terrific glass of wine (or 2) the focaccia and other unique treats. They open at 3:30 on Sunday and you won't have to wait to be served. We enjoyed the dates on our last visit. I look forward to trying the date recipe! Avec is one of my favorite Chicago spots.

Avec is one of those places I can go to 100 times and never grow tired of it - it's a must-visit for me everytime I'm in Chicago. Enjoy the dates. When you make them, make sure you opt for really good spices - makes all the difference. One other thing I didn't include is that I use an emulsion blender to make the sauce smooth.
