"Perfect For: Your Visiting Almond Mom Who Wants To Meet Your Significant Other Your mom—a Snackwell devotee in the ‘90s and a Goop subscriber now—is making her annual trip. Despite your best efforts, she wants to go to an actual restaurant where she can “get a little dressed up” and meet your significant other. Make reservations at Oakville in The West Loop. She can order the “nice green salad” (that’s literally what it’s called) and you can get whatever the hell you want from their all-over-the-place menu, whether it’s fried chicken, steak, or a pizza. She’ll still narrate what everyone is eating, but the sooner your partner learns to tune her out, the better. " - adrian kane
