Bing Bread from Chicago’s Parachute
A few weeks ago I flew to Chicago from Oakland to visit Paulina, and in true sister weekend fashion, we ate a metric ton of food at a number of Chicago’s finest establishments, including tacos, pizza, Italian ice, Italian beef, Italian diabetes, etc. We also went to Parachute, which has a Michelin star and is getting all sorts of accolades. I’m gonna be honest with you: it was super overpriced regular Korean food; we honestly didn’t totally get the fusion aspect of it. We did not finish our goat stew, which I have had before in other places and is good but not $30+ good.
However, there was one part of our meal that blew our minds: the soft, pillowy, “oven baked potato with bacon and scallion and cream cheese”-flavored Bing Bread with the sour cream butter. We both agreed that next time, we’d just place two full size orders of the bread and get a cocktail.
As we were furiously Googling away on our phones on our ride from Parachute over to our next destination, we discovered Bon Appetit has a recipe for it so you can make it at home! BOOM. Done - go make yourself a warm batch.
