Apolonia (2201 S. Michigan) - probably the most exciting restaurant to open in the Sloop in the last couple of years - got some viral love for one of their bread dishes (via NBC5):
Gillanders said the restaurant's pastry chef was trying to make a focaccia to capitalize on the trend, but they wanted to make it different.
"The deep fry became this thing. We threw a dough ball into it, it just ballooned up," he said.
The restaurant likened the dish to a "savory black truffle doughnut" and said it has since taken off in a way they never expected.
"A lot of people started to cut them open and fill them like a pita and you'd be shocked what people put into those things," he said.
NBC5 has a good overarching video about what they're doing at the restaurant. It's early in the morning and I'm hungry for dinner:
