No One Believes!!

No one believes me when I say the best seafood restaurant I have ever been to was Bob Chinn's in Wheeling, IL (just outside of Chicago). I was in the Navy and traveled a great deal always savoring the foods. When I was stationed at NTC Geat Lakes, I was introduced to Bob Chinn's and my wife and I made at least a bi-weekly visit there. It wasn't uncommon to arrive 2 hours after opening and find yourself with a three hour wait.Now we live in VA and remember the days of the greatest seafood ever. You have no idea how estatic I was to find this cookbook searching on the web for similar recipes I have tasted at Bob's.Even if you have never eaten at the restaurant, this cookbook will make your freinds believe you are the greatest seafood cook in history.Thanks Bob.

Just Like the Restaurant

For those of us lucky enough to have spent many a night "chowing down" on the out-of-this-world seafood and garlic rolls at this 600 seat suburban Chicago institution, what a THRILL it's been to own a cookbook with all the restaurant's best recipes! While other cookbooks from well-known restaurants omit favorites, due to secret/family recipes, etc... this book spills them all. From my all-time fave, sauteed scallops (in sherry-lemon sauce!!), to the irresistible garlic rolls, it's all here, along with great asides/behind-the-scenes talk and some nice photos. Though slightly simplified for home cooking, the recipes are absolutely comparable to "being there." After regular trips to Chinn's for years, I now live 2 states away, yet can still "savor the flavor" - and without the 2 hour wait. Highly recommended, especially for those who've been lucky enough to experience Bob Chinn's in person.
