Brilliant write up. We can't believe you're an amateur. This article on Patrick Fahy is way better than the crappy one on Grub Street Chicago which doesn't tell us about either the chef or how to make his desserts. Great job.

Sometimes I wonder how someone whose first language isn't English could write like this and why a chimp like me who grew up speaking English can't. So not fair.

Great timing. My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in Chicago next month and we feel we must visit this restaurant. The chef seems like a humble and talented young man. I hope he stays that way. So sick of those arrogant chefs ...

Thanks for a great post. We enjoy your blog very much.

What a great opportunity to talk with him in the kitchen! The beet ice cream sounds fantastic. Also, I need to practice making quenelles!

Matt - Chef Fahy has given me the scaled-down recipe and I have successfully replicated his ice cream at home. The recipe will be posted within 48 hours from the time this comment went up.

Regarding the Latin etymology of "scoopy," I'm not convinced.

Try harder.

Oh god ... you're probably the only person who compares custard with ancient scrolls, Leela. Cute, though. And, hey, aren't you gonna give us the recipe?

Matt

p.s. Scoopy could also come from Latin specere. Didn't you think of that, Miss Brainy?

Yo, Lara, he has a girlfriend! Didn't you read the interview?

How come nobody has made any comment about the fact that chef Patrick is quite a hottie? Fine. I'll say it.

Yo, chef, I think you're cute!

Wow, Leela. I always thought you were a terrific writer, but I think you just topped yourself with this piece. Sounds like you were having fun with this. Gotta check out Blackbird when I'm in Chicago.

What an incredible day and well done to you for getting yourself in there. I am so jealous! Next you'll have to try beet brownies. They are amazing -- promise.

Leela, this is amazing and my mouth kept opening wide up while reading (as well as some drooling).

Chef Fahy sounds like an awesome guy!

And look at that video teaching how to form an ice-cream quenelle, I see why I can never be a chef, hahaha.

Holy Cow! (My Minnesota roots just came out), What an awesome post! I had so much fun reading this and I loved what you did with the photos. I want beet ice cream and I want it now. Please do not make me fly to Chicago for it. What a treat.
