Where I Go Out
Beef hind shank w/ five spice
$$, Chinese, Seafood, Dim Sum, Chinatown
"This dish is served slightly cold; the spice provides the heat you need, and an unctuousness balances everything out."
Tenderloin steak tartare
$$$, Outdoor Seating, French, Full Bar, Cocktail, West Loop
"It's pristine beef cooked on low heat to tenderize the meat, with a slow-cooked egg yolk to achieve rich decadence."
Fermented pork and rice sausage
$$, Thai, Wrigleyville
"Grilled with smoky pork round and served with fresh ginger for a little bit of bite. I love TAC Quick's sausage."
Porchetta di Testa
$$$$, Modern, American, New American, Cocktail, West Loop Gate
"Chef Andrew Zimmerman rolls beautifully cured pig’s face, slowly cooks it, then slices it paper-thin and warms it ever so gently for the charcuterie plate."
Queso fundido
$, Full Bar, Tacos, Whisky Bar, Wrigleyville
"Melted cheese and roasted poblanos with super soft onions on fresh tortillas—it’s a cheese lover’s dream."
