"We could make jokes about The Revenant or a certain TV series with a penchant for “yes, chef!”-ing. Instead, we’ll direct you to what we can only assume is the unofficial mascot of this new Italian steakhouse in Lincoln Park. Does Chicago need another Temple of Beef? Maybe not, though this one has a speakeasy-style atmosphere and $140 wagyu steak tasting board." - john ringor, veda kilaru
