Thanksgiving Dinner at the Seasons

Last year, I was very fortunate to have a "pre-thanksgiving" dinner at the Seasons Restaurant, located in the opulent Four Seasons Hotel downtown Chicago, and it was a fabulous experience.

I would really love to go back for another "pre-thanksgiving dinner" this year! Great food, great wine, and great service.

But, what really stands out about my experience here was the dessert that I had. I had the S'mores and that sounds simple enough, but they were like nothing I have ever eaten. The ingredients were simply grahm cracker, toasted marshmallow, chocolate, cognac sauce, and smokey ice cream. What made the dessert so unique was the smokey ice cream. The waiter told us it was infused with tobacco, and it really tasted like smoke! It was the strangest dessert I've ever had, and I don't even think the smokey ice cream even tasted that great, but it was just the the fact that it was so different....quite bizzare.
