"Lamar Moore left Bronzeville Winery in summer 2024 for an ownership stake at this new downtown restaurant, where the underrated chef continues to serve up the type of quality of food fans expect. Etc. is described as New American, but there’s a heavy Southern influence with starters like Mississippi catfish dip, fried green tomatoes, and salmon with braised fennel. The cocktails are mighty, and it’s an escape from the usual tourist traps that line the area near Willis Tower. Moore was on the longlist for the 2025 James Beard Awards as a semifinalist." - Ashok Selvam
