"Though wearing 12 layers of clothing is helpful, one of the most comforting ways to deal with Chicago’s winter is by ordering the stewed oxtail from Kizin. The oxtail at this Haitian spot is buttery and covered in a rich, garlicky gravy, which pairs perfectly with fried plantains and rice and beans. We also like Kizin’s tender spicy goat or griyot, crispy, salty pieces of fried pork. The large space has plenty of tables and doesn’t get too busy, so if you’re looking for a place for a low-key dinner with a group, this is a great option. Plus it’s BYOB." - john ringor, veda kilaru
