"We wouldn’t normally recommend going to a tasting menu spot with the in-laws, but Wherewithall is an exception. First off, it’s a $85 four-course tasting menu, so it’s relatively affordable, and the meal will be short enough that no one will have time to ask about having kids. And the food is delicious - it’s from the same team as Parachute (one of our favorite Chicago spots) and you’ll find everything from cornmeal beignets to duck breast with cauliflower and currants on the daily-changing menu. Plus, the space is small and cute, and the lampshades look like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter." - adrian kane
