Chicago, ILLocal News

Creepies, a new French bistro opened by chefs David and Anna Posey, is situated next to their acclaimed fine-dining restaurant Elske in West Loop. The restaurant aims to become a neighborhood favorite, featuring playful decor inspired by World War II cartoon art and a menu designed for sharing. Signature dishes include a $39 half-roasted chicken, which undergoes a meticulous three-day cooking process, and a roast lamb wrapped in Swiss chard. Chef de cuisine Taylor Ploshehanski focuses on savory dishes, while Anna Posey creates seasonal desserts, including a $14 brown sugar crème caramel.
