12 New Women-Owned Restaurants To Check Out In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Kasama is a West Town spot that’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and does everything exceedingly well. They have pastries (like the ham and cheese danish or cardamom kouign amann), Filipino plates like the chicken adobo, and snacks like the lumpia - all absolutely delicious. So while we respect your current self-care routine, we also firmly believe Kasama should go in it. Right now they’re counter service only and closed for indoor dining, but they have a great side patio next to the restaurant. Reservations become available every day at midnight, for 45 days out. If you can’t snag one, get on their Resy notify list. We’ve had success with reservations opening up even as far as a week in advance. Another option is to come here for breakfast or lunch, which is walk-in only. The daytime menu is more casual (but still incredible). Just come early (they open at 9am) because the line for their pastries gets very long within 30 minutes of opening." - adrian kane
