"At some point, a visitor to Chicago might get overwhelmed by our heavy food and want a detox - a steady diet of hot dogs and deep dish pizza can inspire this type of thing, or so we’ve heard. Take care of this with a meal at Ema. The Mediterranean small plates are light and fresh, and the dining room has enough plants and sunshine to make your friends feel like they’re at home, where there isn’t quite so much cheese." - adrian kane
