Snails in black bean sauce?

I've had them at a couple places in Chinatown in NYC.

Anybody know if there's a restaurant in Chicago that serves them?

Thanks!

    Triple Crown on Wentworth has snails on the menu, and I imagine they could prepare them with black bean sauce on request.

      Gosh, you bring back memories of New Lin Heong in the 1960s NYC Chinatown. It was my favorite place for late night noshing (and I'm not even Jewish!). It has long since changed names, some of which are not at all a propos of a restaurant. Stir-fried noodles were another hit there. the boss/greeter was "Sam". thanks for the great memory! Wish I knew where to send you for them here in Chicago area; we've had clams in black bean sauce here , but not snails.

        I found it on a menu at Dragon Court in Chinatown, which I've never heard of let alone visited. Can's and won't vouch for quality.
