The 36 Best Restaurants In Chinatown - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Grilled meat, hot pot, and BYOB are already appealing concepts, and Friend’s BBQ packages all of them together in a fun space with cartoon wallpaper and an upbeat pop soundtrack. Most of the food here follows the Skewer System™. Proteins and vegetables all come on sticks and are either grilled and seasoned with a delicious spicy blend of cumin and Sichuan peppercorn, or served raw to be cooked in a boiling pot of broth. All orders are placed on a tablet to ensure a speedy kitchen-to-table pipeline, which is especially handy after realizing that one order of lamb skewers or chicken hearts isn’t enough." - adrian kane, john ringor
