Where To Forget The Internet Exists In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"When you imagine a quaint French restaurant, you probably think of something that looks like Le Bouchon. This tightly packed Bucktown bistro feels less like a room full of strangers absorbed in the latest Reddit drama, and more like a communal dinner, whether you’re crammed into a booth with a juicy canard roti, or sitting alone at the tiny bar with trout wrapped in delicate puff pastry. Getting slightly jostled by a friendly server or a neighboring diner is all part of the experience here. But that also makes it ideal for making new friends who aren’t AI bots." - veda kilaru, john ringor, adrian kane
