La sardine!

Ina turned Scott on to La Sardine, a charming French restaurant directly across from Harpo Studios. It's renowned for its unusual Tuesday prix fixe, where instead of a menu of the chef's choosing, you can choose any appetizer, entrée, and dessert for $25. Here's what I had, all from the carte of specials.

• Sautéed frog legs, tomato concassé, potato risotto, garlic butter
• Saddle of rabbit, couscous, julienne of winter vegetables, thyme jus
• Tarte aux pommes with frangipane, caramel sauce, and caramel ice cream
