Hong Kong Dim Sum

Cai is a typical Hong Kong style dim sum restaurant. It has no décor to speak of, and is brightly lit with plastic tablecloths to allow for quick and easy cleanup.

Beta Beer

Allium, which is located in the Four Seasons Hotel, serves two of my favorite foods in Chicago – a house made Chicago-style hot dog that places all the toppings on the size so you can customize it yourself and a miso butterscotch milkshake that’s the ideal sweet-salty dessert.

No Bull

The first time I walked into the Del Toro Tequila Bar, I didn’t know what to expect. A ton of new restaurants were popping up in Pilsen and Bridgeport, each fulfilling its own niche.
