"This pricey West Loop cocktail lounge is dark, moody, and looks kind of like a billionaire supervillain’s hideout, and it’s also home to some incredible Vietnamese duck wings. $20 only gets you two drumsticks, though they’re decently sized and worth the splurge. Each piece crackles like peanut brittle, while buttery meat waits underneath. The best part is the sweet and savory fish sauce glaze, which makes us wish we could take a growler of it home." - john ringor, veda kilaru
