Where I Go Out
Rib tips
$$, Bbq, Greater Grand Crossing
"Tip: Order these ribs spicy. While you're waiting, get the strawberry pop in the soda machine. A-plus hospitality and awesome food—the whole experience is worth the drive."
Farm chicken
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Breakfast, New American, Gastropub, Fulton Market
"This is a great plate to share. You get a whole chicken with wood-roasted flavor, cooked and seasoned just right. If you're going it alone, order half a chicken with summer sausage and frites."
Pozole
$, Mexican, Tacos, Burritos, Bucktown
"Cooked to order, this is a whole meal in a bowl—rich, fatty pork, starchy hominy and a flavorful broth. It just makes you feel good."
Toro tartare bite
$$$$, Sushi, Japanese, Reservations, Full Bar, East Village
"One bite is not enough. It's cheap, so why not order two? Chef BK rocks the whole menu at this West Town sushi spot."
Phat rice
"The only way to make this fried rice with pork belly and short rib better is to order Bill's kimchi and wrinkle beans and mix it all together."
