"Any neighborhood—in any city—would be lucky to have a spot like Lula Cafe. The farm-to-table dishes are always reliable, whether it's the precisely roasted chicken or delicious circa-1999 classics like the pasta yiayia. And even when it's busy (which is all of the time), the friendly service always fills us with Midwestern pride. This place is as vital to Logan Square as memories of the infamous Aloha billboard." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
