"The Licking, a Miami-style soul food restaurant, opened on Chicago’s West Side and has experienced significant success since its debut. The restaurant features dishes like fried lobster and a Kool-Aid-like 'Famous Mystery Drink.' It aims to provide good food options in areas lacking quality restaurants and to create jobs. The Chicago location, the first outside Florida, has seen long lines and high demand, prompting management to consider expansion. The restaurant blends traditional soul food with unique offerings like fried chicken and red velvet waffles, and fried conch." - Ashok Selvam
