Pho. Take the Redline up.

Slightly odd, in a good way, KBBQ. Spicy pork skins with a side of peanut dust is the go-to.

Obvious, but fantastic. Sunday and Tuesday early evenings are best.

I've never in my life enjoyed a more exciting and consistent restaurant. Hard to describe their cuisine.

Classic "red sauce joint" - sit at the bar.

Best Ramen in Chicago.

Last "Chicago" feeling bar downtown in a lot of ways.

Is what it is.

West Loop mainstay.

Relaxed and classic, but ultimately modern Italian.
