"I love it for its sweet, soft Burgundian flesh slathered with sleekly opaque frosting that accentuates its deliciousness."

$$, Thai, Wrigleyville

"Grilled with smoky pork round and served with fresh ginger for a little bit of bite. I love TAC Quick's sausage."

$$, Outdoor Seating, Bar, Avondale

"Peak-of-the-season tomatoes with a sweet, salty, slightly acidic bite, topped with silky-smooth, smoky goodness and crisp, buttery grilled bread."

$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Tacos, Whisky Bar, Wicker Park
