"Some food halls are worth knowing about because of a specific restaurant, and some are great because of the sum of their parts, like Time Out Market. It has a bunch of restaurants that are all pretty good, and most are locations of successful places that already exist, like QXY Dumpling, Urbanbelly, and Lil' Amaru. The industrial-feeling space is huge, with two levels (including three separate bars) and lots of communal tables. Basically, when the human race has to flee to outer space, this is what we want our spaceship’s food court to be like." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor

The quiet restructuring has reflected a broader pullback from investing in local editorial, with Chicago coverage increasingly sourced from out-of-market contributors—moves that have reduced regular freelance opportunities for local critics and tightened the connection between the venue and the city’s dining community." - Ashok Selvam
