Asian Harbor

Asian Harbor offers a menu of Pan Asian dishes that are sure to please. Classic Thai, Japanese, and Chinese dishes are served in a warm, comfortable atmosphere, by a friendly and helpful staff.   

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.

J.P. Graziano Grocery & Sub Shop

J.P. Graziano is not just the oldest Italian market in Chicago, but an amazing “old-school” Italian sub shop as well. Delicious soups, seasonal salads, and deli sandwiches piled high with savory meats are served with a wide selection of imported cheeses, olive oils, pastas, and more. All at a great price too.

I spoke to David de Quay, executive chef and owner of de Quay, to learn more about what he’s cooking up at his spot and some tips for navigating the menu. And General Manager and Wine director Terry McNeese and Beverage Director Noel Catrambone chime in with some must-try beverage recommendations.

Argentina’s delicious cuisine is as varied as its topography, but it’s safe to say that one food is very much a big part of everyday life: beef, beef, and more beef, cooked on a grill (a method, and a dish, known as asado).
