Amanda Puck and Catherine De Orio at James Beard Taste America
Hello everyone! As we wrapped up our 15th season, we asked top chefs from around the city to pick their favorite places to dine out in Chicago – and who doesn’t want to know that? Watch the episode if you haven’t already!
Check, Please! host Catherine De Orio welcomes guest reviewers Alex Rodriguez, Maurel Samonte, and Jen Peterson who weigh in on Chicago area eateries The Duck Inn,
Chef Kevin Hickey, The Duck Inn
Hello everyone! This week we visited The Duck Inn in Bridgeport, Found Kitchen and Social House in Evanston and Café Orchid in Wrigleyville. Chicago is filled with so many culturally rich, vibrant neighborhoods, yet we often find ourselves staying close to home, wherever that may be, instead of exploring everything our beautiful city has to offer. Nearly every neighborhood has a great place to eat, and so with the burst of spring weather we have this weekend, let’s get out of our neighborhoods and try something different. After all, this is what Check, Please! is all about!
