Contemporary coolness kissed with classic touches makes this West Loop spot hot. Chef Kendal Duque’s pork rillette (meat preserved in its own fat) hearkens to a refrigeration-free era, while his method for scooping the tender hunks of porky perfection, a stained-glass–like pane of bacon pistachio brittle, is pure new millennium. Likewise, the dining room, filled with rustic wood and industrial brick accented by crystal chandeliers wrapped in gray translucent hoods, embodies both a ’20s speakeasy and a cutting-edge downtown lounge. 123 N Jefferson St, 312-441-1920.

Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now. What are you folks thinking?
Naha is so expensive! I went there and could not believe how expensive both the food and wine were!
Gee, can you make it any more difficult to view your webpage? I won't be back.
I am a subscriber! How about an area where we can save our favorites? Chicago and New York editions.
