Elliot Hunt @ Frank's Diner: Kenosha, WI

This was our second visit and wow is the best we can say about Elliot Hunt and his fine menu. This is by far the best dining experience in Kenosha and possibly in all of Southeast Wisconsin.

Elliot has been taking over Frank's Diner on Fridays and we're told hopes to add Saturdays by the end of year.

The menu is usually a six-course prix fixe, so you don't need to make any decisions except what wine you would like and they will even help you out with that. The menu changes every week. Last night we had:

“Deconstructed Escargot” with Braised Escargots, Roasted Garlic Beurre Fondue and Parsley Oil (This maybe the best version of Escargot we have ever had, very unique)

Hawaiian Ono with Ragout of Edamame, Citrus Sauce and “Bleeding Heart” Radish Salad

Filet Mignon of New Zealand Lamb with Flagolets, Lamb Reduction Sauce and Thyme-Infused Olive Oil

A Dessert Flight that included Creme Brule followed by Milk and Cookies - a glass of ICE COLD milk with a chocolate chip cookie. But the little glass the milk came in didn't allow for dunking!

As we said, the menu changes every week, so if you are in the area, or even if you're not, take advantage of this great meal at a great price. Dinner was $50 each, not including wine. Our only criticism is the wine section is small.

You should have a reservation, so don't just show up!

We are planing on going here as often as we can, so we'll update this blog soon.
