The new restaurant Provaré at 1523 W. Chicago Ave. in Chicago pushes boundaries with its convergence of Creole and Italian cuisines. Provaré is the brainchild of chef and partner Jourdan Higgs, a native of suburban Oak Park. Our experience involved ‘crabby fries,’ shatteringly crisp calamari tucked with jalapenos and banana peppers, and tossed with cognac-splashed shrimp scampi,” Michelin writes. Entrees include lobster bisque pasta; shrimp cognac scampi; a seafood trio of alfredo, shrimp, lobster, crab meat and rotini; and “all vodka” rigatoni pasta with pancetta, vodka, marinara sauce and cream. Add-ons include crawfish, chicken, shrimp, lamb chop, crab meat, salmon, lobster meat and lobster tail.
