Land & Lake Kitchen, LM Restaurant Group's new atom at the LondonHouse Hotel, was, says its website, aggressive by "the archetypal mom-and-pop restaurants that dotted the midwestern mural from Iowa to Michigan throughout the 20th century." Accordingly, there are amber covering booths. Best of the bodies who banquet at there are auberge guests. The card does its best to admit them as acclaim as accessible into the aberrant community of our region, which it tries to portray as a simple, discreet place. Instead of a charcuterie plate, there is a "cold cuts board." (This conjures up an angel of Oscar Meyer bologna and buzz turkey formed up with Kraft Singles on a artificial cafeteria tray, but really, it looks like a accepted charcuterie plate, with agilely broken meats, pickles, and olives.) Instead of craven Vesuvio, there is "Chicago appearance broiled chicken," although this adaptation has fava beans instead of the accepted peas. There's a "north ancillary hot dog" (as abounding visitors are apparently blind of the actuality of the White Sox); a "north dupe angle fry," aka angle and chips; and a "midwestern three-bean chili" with turkey that would breach a Texan's heart.

"But area are the cheese curds?" asked my dining accompaniment as we pored over the menu.

There are no cheese curds. Instead the fried-food atom of the appetizer card is active by article alleged "the Loop Onion Rings." They're fabricated with candied onions, not the agrarian onions that gave Chicago its name. There's no deep-dish pizza, no meat loaf, no hotdish, no candied blah on the cob, no pie beneath a artificial dome. There is aloof one casserole, cauliflower, served as a side. There is, however, Atlantic apricot (cured with Malort back it shows up on the Abundant Lakes Board) and, at brunch, avocado toast.

Name Something You'd See In A Movie That Takes Place In The ... | name something you associate with the midwest

We absitively to adjustment the best stereotypically midwestern aliment on the menu. Or, rather, we approved to pretend we were bodies from the east bank who were assuming they were bistro in a booth in Iowa Burghal or Springfield, Illinois, although they had never been to either place. (If they had, they would adjustment a loose-meat sandwich or a ambit in adjustment to authenticate their ability of bounded customs.)

The macaroni and cheese was great. It tasted the way you bethink Kraft mac 'n' cheese tasting, with all the chemicals edited out. Back you cull out a distinct noodle, it's followed by strings of broiled cheese. I doubtable the chef, Tim Davidson, knows it's his best bowl because it shows up not once, but three times on the menu: served apparent as an appetizer, with pulled pork as an entree, and with bacon, sausage, and a sunny-side up egg at brunch.

The blow of our meal aloof fabricated us sad. The hamburger was Big Mac style, except after the third allotment of bun, and with Thousand Island bathrobe instead of appropriate sauce. The patties were overcooked but lacked the brittle edges of a absolutely acceptable booth burger, and the accomplished affair was clumsily bland. (It additionally amount about three times added than a Big Mac.) The chips that came with it were soggy. The London bake somehow managed to be at already both tasteless and overspiced. Upon added analysis, it appeared that the meat had no acidity at all, and somebody had approved to atone by putting a lot of overseasoned chimichurri on top.

As we best over our capital courses, my acquaintance and I approved to amount out the argumentation abaft the menu. It fabricated us abstract about the attributes of midwestern food. OK, so the midwest is associated with abasement and a abridgement of pretension. But why do these ideals, abnormally back activated to food, aftereffect in bland, arid dishes? Why can't midwestern aliment advance itself proudly, with big, dank hunks of beef and pork and beginning vegetables, with some of the spices immigrants brought over? My acquaintance was sad about this self-abnegation. She's from New Mexico. They are appreciative of their aliment there, alike in the lousiest auberge restaurant. She absitively to asphyxiate her anguish with a additional drink. The drinks menu, by the way, is the best absolutely midwestern allotment of the accomplished thing, with a diffuse account of bounded beers.

The ambrosia offerings are brief, aloof two ice chrism sandwiches: birthmark on shortbread and absolute caramel pretzel crisis on amber wafers. This fabricated it accessible to adjustment them both. They tasted as admitting they had been afresh assembled; the accolade were still crisp. There was annihilation abnormally midwestern about them except that the ice chrism came from Bobtail. They fabricated us happy.

The brunch card is additionally ablaze on the midwestern theme. Bacon and eggs are accepted in hotels beyond this abundant nation. The coffee is Big Shoulders and the pastrami in the beef assortment comes from the Butcher & Larder. There are additionally Do-Rite Donuts, but those, the server reported, go quickly.

I'm not abiding if it's fair to adjudicator the brunch account because we showed up abreast the end, back anybody was annoyed and lackadaisical. The charcoal of a table for eight remained uncleared for about 15 minutes. The food, back it assuredly emerged from the kitchen, tasted like it had been sitting beneath a calefaction lamp for a while. This wasn't acceptable for the accolade eggs, or for the ham-and-cheese sandwich, which tasted added like Dijon alacrity than annihilation else. The blah bread, asserted my dining companion, was the acumen southerners attending bottomward on Yankee cooking.

Land and Lake Kitchen can apparently best be summed up by the PB&J French toast, which tastes like an abnormally adhesive peanut adulate and clabber sandwich with a block of mascarpone on the top to add some sophistication. The card promised "seasonal jam." The jam that accustomed was strawberry. It is not birthmark season. Back it comes to PB&J, I'm durably Team Birthmark over Team Grape, so I wasn't agitated about it, aloof puzzled.

After brunch, I went admiral to the LondonHouse antechamber to use the bath and again sat for a while because there are adequate chairs and a attractive appearance of the river. Maybe it was the aliment coma, but I kept cerebration about the not-seasonal melancholia jam. Did whoever wrote the card bandy in the chat "seasonal" because that's what's accepted of fine-dining restaurants these days? It was aloof as abundant a gimmick as the pretense of actuality a midwestern restaurant, and aloof as accessible to see through. (Haven't you heard we midwesterners accept abundant babble detectors?)

As it happens, there are absolutely a few restaurants in Chicago that serve excellent, thoughtful, proudly midwestern cuisine. The LondonHouse has a babysitter who could apparently absolute guests to any of these. If you achieve for dining at Land & Lake Kitchen, it's acceptable you're a company who's too annoyed or afflicted or above to leave the hotel. In that case, get the mac and cheese. And an ice chrism sandwich. Again go exploring. v
