By this time of year we know you’re probably busy bobbing for apples, but if you’re looking for just one more bite of summer, we’ve got it. Mod’s truffle-scented corn, which accompanies its signature double-cut pork chop ($18), had us feeling like we were at a 4th of July picnic. “It’s painfully simple to make,” says chef Andrew Zimmerman. Cooked in chicken stock and butter, the kernels are then lightly coated in a high-grade truffle oil. The result is fragrant, earthy and delicious. But hurry: The corn won’t be around much longer. Of course you may want to try something more seasonal, in which case we recommend Zimmerman’s cider-braised pork belly ($18), served on a bed of caramelized endive and a cassolette of roasted garlic and white beans. 1520 N. Damen Ave. 773-252-1500.
