Braised Beef Cheek with Polenta

📍 Chicago New American $$

at Giant

"Giant's braised beef cheek with polenta is the Midwestern comfort classic executed with the precision of a kitchen that takes its craft seriously. The beef cheek is braised until it falls apart, the polenta is stone-ground and cooked until it has real body. This is the dish that defines what Giant is — ambitious Midwestern cooking without losing its soul."
