Chicago: Black Dog Gelato

With minutes to spare...

This week's edition of Time Out, which came out today, had a rave review Black Dog, an artisan gelato shop in Ukrainian Village.

Jess and I both happened to read the review and almost simultaneously declared "we have to try it." We looked up their hours, which were liberal (they stayed open till 10). Normally we would easily be able to get with plenty of time to spare, but not tonight. Our plan was to eat dinner in Wicker Park and have dessert at Black Dog. We ended up having the longest dinner imaginable - Jess will supply details. So, we almost had to abort our mission but we did get to Black Dog at 9:57. It is on a nice quiet corner and the help encourages sampling. We, of course, took advantage of their generosity and decided on three flavors (we like the unique ones): goat cheese caramel cashew, malted vanilla, and salted peanut. The portions were liberal and the gelato superb. It's a definite repeat and worth all its favorable press.
