14 Great Restaurants Open On Christmas Day - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This Persian spot in Albany Park has a long dining room that's consistently packed with people sharing massive family platters (there’s a four-person minimum to order them), which are the best way to refuel after tearing through hundreds of layers of gift wrap. The largest plate comes with plenty of smoky chicken, lamb, beef, or salmon skewers, plus a mountain of dill and cranberry rice. And when additional grilled vegetables, hummus, baba ghannouj, and salad show up, it’s clear why Kabobi has the four-person requirement." - adrian kane, john ringor
