It had been awhile since I’d dined at one of Alex Dana’s Rosebud restaurants — there are four in Chicago, along with locations in Deerfield, Lemont and Naperville, plus his Carmine’s restaurants in the city and Rosemont — so that when I ordered carryout dinner from the Naperville location, I forgot the cardinal Rosebud rule.
Order light. Portions are so generous at Rosebud that one entree feeds two, easily. The brick chicken ($28.95), for example, is an entire spatchcocked bird, with golden skin and consistently juicy meat, served with lengthwise-sliced roasted potatoes and a virtual bouquet of broccoli.
