"Telling someone to order fried chicken at this steakhouse in River North can seem silly. But this chicken is serious. The peppery skin has a crunch that sounds so satisfying it’d probably break a Spotify streaming record. Plus, it has some tasty support from the extra buttery mashed potatoes and cipollini gravy with nutty sweet peas underneath. Reservations are released online 21 days in advance at 9am. They have bar seating and a couple of tables in the bar area available for walk-ins, and if you get here early (they now open at 4pm Monday-Thursday and 3pm on Friday-Sunday) you’re likely to get one." - john ringor, adrian kane
