Vermillion, as described by the owner, is a brilliant red hue worn by Indian women as a dot on their forehead.  It is a symbol of power, strength, beauty.  And I thought it was just a color.  At this particular womens networking and leadership event, I was astounded by the vibrance of the crimson decor.  It was a special treat to hear the story of the restaurant from the owner,  who discussed its history from concept to creation.  On this particular evening, I was seated at a table full of lovely, intelligent ladies from D.C. to CA, from all walks, and from that evening began the incessant mockery from a close friend that I-heart-Chicago.  It’s true, I now do.  I’m ready for more.
