Where I Go Out
Sashimi
$$, Japanese, Sushi, Near North Side
"It's the freshest in Chicago. Order kani nigiri as a sashimi chaser."
Tiger cry
"I've been eating this dish for over 10 years. Forget the dipping sauce and put it on an order of pad thai for an extra mouth fun experience."
Empanadas
$$$, Latin American, Brazilian, Fulton Market
"Just tell John Manion that Honey Butter Fried Chicken sent you."
Smoked Scottish salmon benedict
$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, New American, Whisky Bar, Hotel, Logan Square
"There is something about this smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise that just does it for me. I don't question why too much. And neither should you."
Croissant
$$, Café, Coffee Shop, Bakery, Breakfast, Sheffield Neighbors
"Ham and cheese, almond, chocolate... pick your poison and enjoy every flaky minute of it. Chef/owner Sandra Holl knows how to work her dough."
At My Venues
Reuben melt
$$, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Full Bar, Fried Chicken, Avondale
"With thousand island dressing and sauerkraut on a pumpernickel bun, this sandwich is so spot-on that you almost actually think that there's corned beef on it, instead of fried chicken. Pro-tip: finish off with their chocolate chip cookie with a side of the honey butter for dipping."
Honey butter fried chicken
$$, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Full Bar, Fried Chicken, Avondale
"Honey Butter Fried Chicken's sides are phenomenal. Their chicken is juicy and crispy, and the honey butter adds a surprising layer of sweetness."

"I tasted this chicken before the restaurant opened, and I believed it would be the breakaway hit of 2012. Each piece of juicy, delicious fried chicken is served with a sweet-n-salty dollop of honey butter. Where else can you eat as sinfully—and ethically—as you can with Christine and Josh?"
Fried chicken and cornbread
$$, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Full Bar, Fried Chicken, Avondale
"Meeting lunch. Thank you @honeybutterchi."
