I've been wanting to try the new Bistro Bordeaux in Evanston

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=27158

and hoping that they might have cassoulet on their winter menu. No such luck.... The owner told me they had to make some choices for their first menu (they opened 12/18/09), and cassoulet didn't make the list. He said, "Maybe next winter...."

Well, that's way too long to wait for cassoulet! So I'll be taking another look at this thread and trying somewhere else. Has anyone tried Froggy's cassoulet toulousian (ingredients?)? I noticed their ad mentioned they are featuring it again this January.

BalsaN. At least according to everything I can find on the 'net.

You are correct sir.

Look forward to hearing about your experience!

RAB and I are craving a traditional cassoulet. Any idea where we might find a good version in Chicago during the next few weeks?

Thanks and happy holidays,

My Executive Sous Chef loved the cassoulet at Maude's Liquor Bar. I am dying to try it.

I can't swear it's the best, and it's been a few years, but I always used to enjoy the cassoulet at Kiki's Bistro.

Le Bouchon

Chez Moi.

For a minute, I thought that was an invitation, not a recommendation. Too bad -- it's tough to do better than homemade.
