16 Restaurants To Make You Fall In Love With Chicago Again - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Uncle Mike’s Place in West Town is appropriately named: it feels like having a meal in a relative’s dining room, if that person loved old flower tiles and made some of the city’s best Filipino breakfast platters. Each comes with a cup of soothing lugaw, garlic rice, eggs, dipping vinegar, and a protein like fatty longanisa or pork tocino. But their giant bangus is the standout: a fried milkfish that’s salty, slightly tart, and crispy. By the time you’re digging into a small complementary side of champorado, you’ll wish every meal ended with a little bit of chocolate rice porridge." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
