Reason to visit: Honey butter fried chicken, signature chicken sandwiches, Buffalo mac and cheese, dump cake" (Larry Olmsted, USA Today)

"Smoque (smōk) BBQ is a neighborhood kind of place that cooks up BBQ good enough to make it a true destination. It was created by five regular guys who happen to be passionate about food in general and BBQ in particular. We believe barbecue is at its best when all of its powerful flavors combine and harmonize. The rich, natural flavors of the meat. The savory flavor of hardwood smoke. The spiciness of the rub. The sweetness or pungency of the sauce. When these elements are in balance, you have found BBQ heaven."

"The Chicago Diner isn't the best place for vegan dishes just because it's received numerous accolades over the years, from Chicago Reader Readers' Choice awards to Michelin Guide recommendations.

This is comfort vegan food at its best; savor the flavor of everything from seitan "wings" to the reuben, made with corned beef seitan as well as peppers, sauerkraut, grilled onions, cheese and vegan thousand island dressing.

"Las Tablas Colombian Steakhouse is a family-owned and operated establishment founded in 1991 by Chef Jorge Suárez and Soraya Campos. At that time, Colombian food was virtually unknown in Chicago, and they were forced to sell Mexican food to entice customers through the door. When the growing clientele was just beginning to prefer the Colombian dishes over tacos and burritos, that original Las Tablas (located at 1918 W. Irving Park Rd) was completely destroyed in a fire.That is when the Suárez family moved Las Tablas to Lincoln Ave - first for many years in a small space at 2965 where Las Tablas first became popular, and then its current location after having grown out of the first space. In 1999, another location was added at 4920 W. Irving Park Rd."

"In the 1940s, a vivacious career woman named Ann Sather decided that what she really wanted to do was own and run a restaurant. Her restaurant. A place where people could come for generous homemade meals, warm hospitality and know the moment they came in the door they went from being a customer to becoming a friend. So Ann quit her job of 22 years, pooled her life savings and bought herself a diner known today as Ann Sather Restaurant. For 35 years Ann ran the diner herself. Her devotion to wholesome, made-from-scratch food, low prices, friendly service and hard work became legendary in the Lakeview neighborhood and beyond. Although Ann Sather sadly passed away in 1996, her spirit still prevails in the 'good food, good friends and good conversation' philosophy that has made her restaurants famous. She still looks over us all from her portrait hanging in the dining room."

"Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy vegan options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition.

"Ike Sewell changed things back in 1943 when he created Deep Dish Pizza. Some folks call it Chicago deep dish pizza. Ike figured that if you combined some of Italy's old, authentic recipes with impressive quantities of the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses, pizza would become a hearty meal. So he opened Pizzeria Uno as a fine restaurant specializing in his new Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and it wasn't long before the restaurant had more customers than it could handle. Welcome to the birthplace of deep dish pizza."

"Because Uno didn’t have enough room to expand, Ike did another wonderful thing. He opened Pizzeria Due on the opposite street corner in the lower level of a beautiful Victorian mansion. The rest is legend. Pizzeria Uno and Due have become the most celebrated Pizzerias in the world. Ike’s original Deep Dish Pizza has been imitated many times, but never quite duplicated..."
