Restaurant Michael's namesake, chef Michael Lachowicz, crafts an upscale menu of multicourse meals inspired by training at the Culinary Institute of America and years spent sharing spatulas with world-renowned chefs. Like Tchaikovsky's musical interpretations of the calendar year, Michael's menus change with the season to showcase the freshest ingredients and flavors. Recent offerings have included starters of house-cured smoked salmon set on a warm potato galette and emblazoned with a palatable prelude scribbled in lemon-honey crème fraîche.

Entrees of slowly braised beef short-rib dijonnaise with pomme gratin sate expansive appetites, and a duo of grilled quail and bacon-wrapped rabbit edify taste buds with truffle-scented potato croquettes and candied figs. Add an encore to dinner with honey-mascarpone cheesecake, which shares the stage with citrus-honey syrup and a mound of fresh berries. Four wine flights accompany each diner's feast and may be savored between bites or combined into one beaker for intoxicating taste trials.

Michael's elegant dining room is wrapped in warm earth tones and awash in the glow of hanging lamps and domesticated moonbeams. White cloths mark intimate tables that support glass stemware and the occasional roving wine decanter.

Restaurant Michael

After dining at Restaurant Michael, Chicago Reader writer David Hammond described a savory spread of pate and gherkin pickles as “surpassingly pleasing,” and noted that his dessert (a warm blueberry-almond financier pastry with a ginger-almond ice-cream sandwich) was still haunting his dreams. At his eponymous Winnetka restaurant, chef Michael Lachowicz crafts traditional French cuisine inspired by his training at the Culinary Institute of America and years spent sharing spatulas with world-renowned chefs. Like Tchaikovsky's musical interpretations of the calendar year, Michael's menus change with the season to showcase the freshest ingredients and flavors. Whole-roasted squab or sautéed fillets of flounder drizzled in champagne sauce showcase his creative ambition as well as his classical training. Desserts include indulgences such as housemade gelato or artisanal cheese served from a cart.

The Groupon Guide to: Memorizing Guitar Strings

Before you can play smokin' hot licks and uncomfortable-to-touch-because-they're-so-hot riffs, you've got to learn the basics of guitar. Here are some acronyms that will help you remember the notes (EADGBE) of the open guitar strings:

• Every Awesome Deafening Guitar Brings Envy
• Employing A Dog Gets Boring Eventually
• Early Awake Daddy Goes Beddytime Early
• Excellent. Arthur’s Death Grave Barely Eroded.
• Everyone Accepts Defeat. Great Boys Even.
• Eating Alone Depressing? Get a Buddy Eatswithme™!

In hindsight, I shouldn’t have hired a dog to manage this gas station.
