"Three generations’ worth of cardamom and clove dress the shawarma at Cedar Palace, a quaint BYOB Lebanese spot in Lincoln Park. Silk-level hummus and tender meats speak to 50-plus-year-old recipes cooked with as much care and warmth as the first time they were prepared in the restaurant kitchen. Cedar Palace is certainly no secret to locals, but when even the olive oil sings a song of its own when it hits your mouth, secrets are hard to keep. Tell everyone." - Alex Jewell
