Vee-Vee's African Restaurant

Where to Eat African Food in Chicago | Eater Chicago

"Long before Chicago had a food truck scene, Vee Vee’s was on the road with traditional West African fare that was snapped up by hungry taxi drivers during lunchtime. The Rogers Park restaurant has also been a long-time staple at the Taste of Chicago, making it one of the most recognized African restaurants in the city. There you’ll find jerk chicken and red beans and rice, but the more exciting fare is available only at the restaurant. That’s where you’ll find nkwobi (a cow’s foot prepared with special seasonings and cooked in palm oil) and ishi ewu (spicy, slow-cooked goat head)." - Audarshia Townsend
