Where to Eat in Chicago During the James Beard Awards | Eater
"Focusing on the street foods of Kerala, Thattu brings Southwest Indian coastal cuisine to hungry diners in Avondale. Chef Margaret Pak’s menu is full of rich and aromatic dishes that you won’t find elsewhere in Chicago, from kappa bonda (fried yucca balls with punchy onion-tamarind chutney) to meen pollichathu (fish steamed in banana leaves and topped with tomato-basil gravy). Want to celebrate with a fun drink? Thattu’s cocktail menu is as inspired as the menu, with hits like a banana old fashioned, a fruity kokem-spiked margarita, and a spicy play on your classic daiquiri thanks to sweet and warming mace syrup." - Ariel Kanter
