The Best Restaurants In The Gold Coast - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Jake Melnick’s feels a little out of place on the corner of Wabash and Superior, but we are glad it’s there. Let’s be clear—we don’t think Melnick’s is winning any awards for an all-around phenomenal restaurant anytime soon. But they do have great wings, a lot of TVs, and a solid beer list, all of which make it enough of a reason to have on the radar if you're in the neighborhood. The wings are crispy and plump, with flavors like firecracker, Buffalo, and whiskey BBQ, which is made with whiskey and bacon. So, no explanation is needed for why that last one happens to be our favorite." - adrian kane, nick allen
