In terms of produce bounty, winter is a far cry from the peachy provisions outfitting farmers’ markets in the summer. But there’s one large ray of fresh hope in the form of citrus. January is prime citrus season, which means food and drink menus throughout Chicago are awash with orange, grapefruit, and more, each bite and sip offering a refreshing solace from the bitter reality of winter.

Few institutions can boast legacy status by the age of 30. Beyonce and Shaw’s Crab House are a couple exceptions. The latter is celebrating its 30th anniversary in Chicago, where the River North seafood haunt has become a venerable keystone in the Midwest. The restaurant is as popular today as it has been for decades, drawing in hordes of seafood lovers to its rollicking oyster bar and its more formal dining room.

The best defense against a blustery January day in Chicago is a piping hot bowlful of soup. It’s like a wool scarf for your soul. Seeing as January is fittingly National Soup Month, a few restaurants are stewing up soup through the chilly weeks.
