"Heritage offers its regular menu for carryout and delivery (yes, including the caviar), along with family meals that rotate every day." - adrian kane
"After eight years in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, chefs Guy and Tif Meikle built an unstuffy caviar bar and restaurant that celebrated their Eastern European roots and welcomed the diverse identities of staff and neighborhood patrons. They helped make sturgeon eggs approachable and fun, incorporated staff memories into the concept, and served oysters, cocktails, classic Eastern European entrees, paczki and other European staples alongside international dishes like ramen and Korean fried chicken nuggets. The operation weathered a fire and the pandemic, hosted regular summer events (including an August 1 block party and a Father’s Day lamb roast), and kept a basement available for private parties. Facing proposed lease increases they couldn’t afford, the owners announced the restaurant will close on Saturday, August 30, while praising their landlord and prioritizing helping roughly 30 employees find new work." - Ashok Selvam
"A no-holds-barred Paczki Day is in store at Heritage, where the team has a varied lineup of options. Pre-order selections include sweet flavors (roasted milk tea with lychee noir tea and lychee bits topped with black tea sugar, and black sesame coconut with sesame cream, and toasted coconut topping), savory ones (everything bagel with grilled scallion cream cheese, everything bagel topping), and vegan delights (coffee vegan tiramisu cream with espresso cookie crumb). On top of all of that, customers can also stop by for a walk-in special: bacon, egg, and cheese on a paczki with spicy aioli. Pre-orders are available by the half or full dozen via Tock for pickup from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fat Tuesday." - Lisa Shames
"Located in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood, Heritage offers unique and savory takes on paczki, including sliders with steak tartare and gravlax. The restaurant also offers vegan options and manages costs through a software program." - Ashok Selvam
"This beloved neighborhood restaurant rings in the new year with a five-course tasting menu ($100) with dish options ranging from uni shooters and potato pierogi to New York strip loin (vegan and GF options available). Optional beverage pairing available for $75. Happy hour and casual menus also available from 4 to 6 p.m. as well all evening at the restaurant’s two bars. Reservations available on Tock." - Lisa Shames
