10 New Black-Owned Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Fifty-One 50 Fusion is a new soul food restaurant in Auburn Gresham. Their long menu has an eclectic mix of dishes like chicken with red velvet waffles, cilantro lime catfish, Cajun chicken pasta, and Italian beef egg rolls. They have a secluded dining room (it’s hidden behind a closed door that the owner will unlock for you) but we actually like this place for carryout. The egg rolls and chicken wings stay crispy all the way home, and we’re firm believers that they taste better if you eat them in sweatpants on your couch." - adrian kane, john ringor
