Some of my favorite eateries in Chicago. When you're in town stop by one or maybe the whole lot!
Girl & The Goat
Modern American with so many lovely dishes. Definitely get the Chickpea Fritter!
Ema
Ema is a Mediterranean restaurant in River North. At the core of the menu are spreads, dips and mezze, Mediterranean small plates meant for sharing.
Au Cheval
A diner-style bar and restaurant with a passion for eggs, Au Cheval elevates traditional diner fare.
Beatrix
Modern twist on the classic comfort foods.
Green Street Meats
The curated menu focuses on staples of backyard BBQ, including brisket, beef short ribs, and chicken legs. I'm a fan of their brisket.

Hip spot for Baja-style seafood with a focus on live-fire cooking.
