"Perfect For: A Friend Date With Someone Who’s Aggressively Cheerful Someone who pathologically points out silver linings in everything can be just as annoying as a constant complainer. You’ll never get them to acknowledge that some people need to stay off social media, and they even have some spiel about how, actually, mosquitoes are good for the ecosystem. Have a little fun with it—choose a place that challenges their ability to put a positive spin on every little thing. Take them to Le Select and watch as they struggle to see the bright side of the loud, expensive, confusing dining experience they’re having. Yeah, you’re stuck eating that meal too, but it’s worth it if they’re suffering with you." - adrian kane

The Fat Shallot

Food court · River North

"Sam Barron and Sarah Weitz are in love with food and eating. The two kindled a romance many years after they graduated from the same high school, discussing butter and discovering a shared commitment to all things delicious. This passion has led them around the world and back to Chicago, where they opened two food trucks, a stand alone restaurant in Lincoln Park, a food stall in Revival Food Hall, Summers at Gillson Beach in Wilmette and now The MART. The Fat Shallot brings delicious, made-to-order sandwiches and sides. Let Sam and Sarah serve you one of their favorites and The Fat Shallot will have you coming back for more."
