"You’re getting to know your new boo’s tastes, so why not test them out at Vigilante Kitchen and Bar. The menu features Midwestern comfort food with Asian influences and French techniques like hot chicken bao or an open-faced crab rangoon, along with special beer collaborations with neighboring Nain Rouge Brewery. What sets this place apart is its approach to wellness among its workforce. Chef and partner Aaron Cozadd is incorporating drug counseling, fitness memberships, and meditation sessions into the employee list of optional benefits to assist individuals who need help with support and recovery from substance use. While the spot’s altruistic ambitions are sure to be a conversation starter, when it’s time to grab the check and see what else the evening has to offer, there’s Barcade next door — featuring old school arcade games like Ms. Pac Man, pinball, and Centipede." - Serena Maria Daniels
