Eat this: Stuffed apricots

Pastoral, led by chef Chrissy Camba, offers small plates of cheeses, charcuterie and other delectables, including the apricots. Wrapped in bacon and stuffed with sausage, the pillowy treat is topped with a dollop of creamy labne and cilantro garnish, revealing layer after layer of savory and sweet. This dish is definitely made for sharing. Ask for a baguette to soak up the juice, and pair it with the 2010 Domaine Guiberteau Domaine Blanc. As for Camba, "Top Chef's" loss is most certainly diners' gain. <i>2947 N. Broadway, 773-472-4781</i><br>
