Where To Go For Dinner When It “Doesn’t Matter” (But It Really Does) - Chicago - The Infatuation

"You’d like to impress your boyfriend’s parents by having them over for dinner, but your oven is used mostly for storage—in fact, you never turned the gas on after you moved. Going to Gather in Lincoln Square can be the next best thing. A meal at this spot feels like eating what you imagine someone cooks after a trip to the farmer’s market—honey ricotta, charcuterie, glazed baby carrots. Get some pastries to-go (this place mills its own flour) and hope you have some clean plates back at your house." - adrian kane
